PARC's New Officers for
2003-2004


t the June meeting these members were elected to the following offices:

John Pinkerton, K7ZSK, is PARC's new President. John Rollins, KD7BCY, will assist as Vice President. Treasurer and Member-ship Secretary will be combined again and handled by Pete Roda-baugh, W7PR. Our new Recording Secretary will be Pat Kennedy, KD7HDP. Outgoing President Ed Burress, KC7GFX, will assume a one year Director position as stipu-lated by the Bylaws, with John White, K7RUN, in his last year as a three year Director.

Thanks to our outgoing officers KC7GFX, K7ZSK and KD7HDP who are also assuming different positions on the Board this year. And kudos to Bert Younglove, WA7AXO, for assisting as a one year Director over the past year.

If you haven't noticed, KD7BCY is the only new name on the Board this year. At election time next year it will be critical that some of you who haven't served your club as an officer step forward and take on a position. These jobs are not difficult but need to be shared in order to keep the your club going. See the article about this fact elsewhere in this issue.
