Last Month's Meeting

     Lee Kolosna presented a slide of his time with Eagle Squadron. We are going to miss seeing you at the meetings, the 0s and 1s on the web are not the same. Thank you for all you have done for the club over the years. The door is always open for when you can stop by. 


This Month's Meeting

     Contest Chairma Ron Verberg and the contest committee will be discussing RDUCON and the day of activities.


RDUCON 2014

     The activities are ramping up as Contest Chairman Ron Verberg and his team tick off the project tasks as the May 3 date approaches.  For our club to put on a successful contest, we will need lots of volunteers to help with the hundreds of little things that have to be done.  The better the planning, the better the execution.  Please considering helping out in any way that you can, even if just for the day of the contest.  All able bodies will be greatly welcomed and utilized.


Dues are Due

     Annual club membership dues of $20 are due by April 1.  You can still bring cash or check to a meeting and give it to our treasurer Ron Verberg, or you can send it via US mail to:

Ron Verburg
