NEXT CLUB MEETING:
June 13th, 2019 At our last club meeting... We really didn't have a scheduled guest speaker for our May 9th club meeting. We were hoping to count the ballots for our elections, but we didn't have anyone from our elections committee at our general club meeting. Dave-KC7RRH talked about some of the state of the art technologies that he is using as his company builds a new tele-conference room. Daniel-KL7WM talked about the progress being made with the DMR repeater system throughout Washington state. Rich-KC7DZD gave a report on the financial audit that was recently completed.

HAMS & HOG DOGS TUESDAY LUNCH
Hams & Hot Dogs lunch continues to be a popular event each Tuesday from 11am to Noon at the Federal Way Costco store. Another opportunity for area hams to get together to talk shop and feed their face. Membership with Costco is now a requirement, but not with the FWARC. You don't need a ham radio license to attend, just an interest in amateur radio. If you are not a Costco member, let the ID checkers know that you are going to the pharmacy or have an eye appointment.
