[NCC] Summary of NCC meeting 2/5/2022

[Tim Jellison]

Historically, our annual meeting has taken place right after Christmas 
at the QTH of K8AZ.  Tom rolls out the red carpet (sometimes placed atop 
deep snow) and hosts a wonderful get-together.  Like so many other 
things, that fun evening of socializing was destroy by COVID so we met 
on Zoom.  The meeting was held Saturday afternoon at 3PM and it was 
attended by the following.

N8TR, NJ3K, N3SD, K8ZT, K8CX, N3GJ, WZ8P, WB8K, W8CAR, K8MR, K8AZ, 
W8KEN, AA8OY, ND8L, K3LA, K3LR, W3YQ

All participants were given the opportunity to update the group on their 
current condition.  I'm happy to report that everyone's doing well.

By unanimous consent, the following members were elected to serve during 
2022.

K8AZ President
K3LR Vice-president
W3YQ Secretary/Treasurer
W1NN Web Guru

A moment of solemn silence was held for two of our long-time members, 
AC8E and WT8C.  Both of their keys are now silence, but our fond 
memories of these two FB OM's will last forever.

A motion was made and unanimously approved to thank ND8L for serving as 
NCC Treasurer for the past 8 years.  He resigned the position because 
he's now spending half of his time in Florida.

W3YQ agreed to take his place.  I'm therefore feebly documenting the 
happenings of the Zoom meeting.  Of importance to all, the dues for 2022 
were once again remitted.  Historically, members have "chipped in" 
anyway during the annual meeting as well as at the summer picnic.  Our 
treasury is in good shape with a balance of $2526,00, but it's always 
nice to increase the balance.  NCC has stepped up over the years and 
paid for hospitality suites at Dayton, held summer picnics, donated to 
WRTC, bought plaques as trophies in numerous contests, etc.  We pass the 
hat, take care of business, and operate in a quiet but efficient 
manner.  If you'd like to throw some money into the treasury, send it to 
me via US Mail (a check to my QRZ address), or Paypal it to me at 
w3yq at w3yq.com.  Make out checks to Tim Jellison and not NCC because I'll 
just run it informally - put the money in a separate "NCC envelope" 
under the mattress.  I'll report the condition of the treasury 
periodically as changes occur, both on the plus and the minus sides.

I hope you agree with me that the North Coast Contesters has always been 
a great club.  No dues, no required meetings, no nonsense. I've been in 
the club since the beginning and I've known most of members for years.  
Some of them for decades!  As treasurer, I will keep track of who gives 
what and how much we spend on various things, but I'm not going to 
publish detailed data - just periodic quick summaries.  That's how we've 
always done it in NCC.  Anyone who wishes to see the books can ask for a 
copy at any time, however.  No questions asked.

Very 73 and see you in the contests.
