additional info, June 7th ZBARC meeting at Washington Library @ 7pm
Greetings Zero Beaters, Today I visited the Washington Library to ensure that all would be ready for the Zero Beaters this Wednesday at 7 pm. Per the Library staff the room and associated Zoom equipment will be ready for our club meeting at the 7 pm time slot. As a heads up there is a group scheduled to use the meeting room before our 7 pm time slot. Many of us show up early to the meetings but this Wednesday night we will not have access to the room till our 7 pm slot. Once we have access to the room we may need to arrange tables and chairs. Thank you and 73! Al, KA0VIA

June 7th meeting at WASHINGTON LIBRARY, ARRL presentation, business meeting after ARRL
Hello Zero Beaters, This is a second notice that the June 7th meeting will be held at the Washington Library at 7pm. Dave Propper, K2DP, will be at the meeting to give an ARRL presentation. If you have any topic that you would like Dave to discuss please let me know so that I can give Dave a heads up. Please note that Dave will present at the beginning of the meeting at 7:00 pm. After Dave's presentation we will have a brief business meeting. At the business meeting we will be asking for lawn mowing team volunteers. It is hoped that several of us will volunteer so we can spread the lawn mowing duties out. With enough volunteers we will be able to rotate mower operators so that no one has to mow every week or two. Thanks and 73! Al, KA0VIA

LOCATION CHANGE, Zero Beaters June 7th meeting will be held at Washington Library 6
Attention all, The June 7th meeting will be held at the Washington Library at 7:00 pm. The Indian Prairie clubhouse currently has a broken toilet. With that fact in mind a location change for the June meeting was deemed appropriate. Dave Propper K2DP, our ARRL Midwest Division Vice Director will attend our meeting. His presentation will cover various League topics. NOTE! If you have any questions or topics that you wish Dave to address please let me know so I can ask Dave to fine tune his talk. Our ARRL Midwest Division Director, Art K0AIZ, may join our meeting via Zoom. See you at the WASHINGTON LIBRARY! 73, Al, KA0VIA
