The weather for the December club meeting and potluck luncheon was challenging, keeping many members and friends at home. Despite that, the hardy souls who attended enjoyed a spirited business meeting and shared lunch. One important announcement was that annual membership dues will be collected in January. Dues are $15 for an individual and $20 for a family. A second important announcement was a reminder that club members will elect officers at the January meeting. EAWA members may review the proposed slate of officers in the December meeting minutes.
A touching part of the meeting came when the president, Jeff KA1DBE gave out certificates of appreciation to those went above and beyond in moving the club forward in 2024. The following people were recognized with certificates and a gift:
* Joan W1DLC and Barbara KC1SSY for their roles in organizing the MDI Marathon Communications plan
* Dick W1KRP for his role in organizing the Clandestine Coffee meetings that have resulted in the sharing of creative and productive ideas for the EAWA
* Stan W1BOY for establishing and maintaining this website and Marion W1GRL for her regular notices, updates and news items
* Phil N1EP for his contributions to the Sunday Sessions, volunteer testing, program presentations, and general support of the EAWA
President, Jeff KA1DBE
These certificate presentations were followed by some raffle drawings and a wonderful potluck luncheon. While the EAWA members and friends come together because of shared enjoyment of the hobby, the annual holiday get-together offers a chance to eat, chat, and catch-up with old and new friends.
