[NCC] Fwd: Contributions

[Tim Jellison]

My mistake, it was Wayne, K8FF who was voted in as a member.  Shame on 
me for dozing off during the meeting.

Notes from last night's NCC meeting:

As has been the case for many years, it was agreed that we remit the 
dues for 2024 in favor of simply funding our efforts through voluntary 
donations.  If you would like to contribute to our club's coffers, mail 
a check to my (FCC database) address here in West Middlesex, or donate 
via Paypal to w3yq at w3yq.com.  Any amount is fine.  If sending a personal 
check, please make it out to Tim Jellison and not NCC.  Our club has 
never had a business checking account.  It's just easier for the 
treasurer to keep track of the money on a spreadsheet and store the 
money under the mattress. I'll send out a quick summary of funds 
received and an account total in a few weeks once I total up any and all 
donations.  And as always, donations are anonymous.  I never publish a 
list of who gave what.

The meeting was quite informal - but very enjoyable.  K8AZ, our outgoing 
VP, sent out the agenda previously.  The agenda items were all discussed 
by our outgoing President, K3LR.

Of note:

We welcome Jim, WA3JAT to our ranks.  Jim was quickly and unanimously 
voted in as a member.

Once again, there were no takers answering the call for 2024 President 
or Vice President.  So we took the easy way out and reversed their roles 
again.  Tom is the new Prez and Tim is the Veep.

The only true "business" matter occurred during the discussion of CQ 
Magazine's financial troubles.  As some (maybe many) know, WWROF stands 
ready to assist in safeguarding the contest community's interests in the 
CQ contests - the contests we so love.  As CQ Magazine's troubles seem 
to become more severe, the NCC membership thought it'd be wise to 
bolster WWROF's bank balance a bit by donating $500.  Our Prez and VP 
had to recuse themselves because they're also on the WWROF board.  Just 
for the record, the motion to donate was made by W8WTS and seconded by 
N3SD.  Other than Tom and Tim abstaining, the approval of the membership 
was unanimous.  I'll be mailing a check tomorrow.

A big thanks to Tom and Jill for hosting us.  The hospitality at K8AZ is 
always second to none.

73,
Tim, W3YQ
Secretary/Treasurer
