Thanks again for electing me as your new VP. One of my duties is to organize and schedule the presenters and topics for our monthly club meetings.

I am available to help the presenters with their topics and have PowerPoint and other tools to assist. Please contact me at K M 6 R S S at gmail.com ( [email protected] ) so that I can discuss the process with you and enter your information into the club meeting topic and presenter calendar. Many thanks for your valuable membership and the willingness to increase our club knowledge! 73, Robert VP KM6RSS

Our December meeting will be at Black Bear Diner on December 8th.? Cost is $29 and includes: - Soup, salad, fruit salad, cornbread, green beans, summer squash, mashed potatoes and gravy, coffee, tea, soda, iced tea and *1* protein choice. Tax and tip is included. - Additional protein choices are $4.00 each per person - example: pick 2 and the per person price increases to $33, and so on. Note: This poll is so we can determine what the menu offered will be and what the majority of folks are willing to pay. This poll is also so we get a notional head count. *Answers are multiple choice.* If you will NOT be attending, do NOT pick a protein choice. If you will be attending, choose 1 or 2 attendees (limit is 2 as we don't have a lot of seats), and choose what protein you want.? If you pick more than 1, that means you are also agreeable to the increased additional protein price. THIS POLL IS UNOFFICIAL!? Again, it's for planning purposes. Thank you! Dave AI6VX

We have selected the Black Bear Diner at the corner of Harbor and Seaward in Ventura to hold our annual DecemberFest Dinner and after party. There will be a quiz plus prizes and other holiday spirits. Please let us know if you plan on attending. A buffet will be served in a private room that holds 50 party-goers. The price of the per person meal is in alignment with the criteria that we set after last year's $60 cost per person; the manager suggested that the price would be around $30, depending on the main courses we want. Check out the menu at their website: Black Bear Diner Menu ( https://order.blackbeardiner.com/menu/ventura )
