Meeting Minutes for Approval
Minutes from January 10, 2025 meeting for Approval at February 14, 2025 Meeting.
President's Corner
February 2025
Cold air seems to have taken up a permanent home in Kansas in January 2025. The average daily temperature at my home was 27 degrees. The few “warm” days were appreciated.
We added some new program ideas to the list. Now the task is to try to find a person to present the program. Finding a person willing to pass on their experience is the most challenging part of scheduling a program. Your project does not need to be fully successful or problem free. We can all learn from what others have worked on. Knowing what work did not is as important as a flawless project.
As Bill (KCØRYE) at the January program pointed out, now is the time to join Johnson County Emergency Communication Service (ECS). The training starts on Monday, February 3rd. See the ECS website for more information.
The public service season is also approaching. Please consider volunteering for one or two of these events.

SPECIAL NOTE:
Please remember to monitor the Club’s 145.29 repeater and your email for any changes that may be necessary regarding Club meetings, including any changes in venue or cancellations. With the winter weather upon us and the possibilities of snow, ice and extreme cold, it may be necessary to cancel a meeting or move it from an in-person meeting to a remote/virtual meeting. While as much notice as possible will be given, sometimes last minute changes and cancellations will occur. While it isn’t convenient to make these last minute calls, the safety of Club members is first and foremost.
