Old Business

Nebraska State Fair - Chris AC0DN helped with the event on the last weekend it was held.   No issues to report and wanted to mention the Grand Island club wanted to make sure volunteers logged their hours for any help they provided.  

Fox Hunt Transmitter - KD0OBA brought a small ammo-can that can be used to house the club Fox Hunt transmitter.  AC0DN and AC0TF will look at building the box.

Club T-shirts - Adam J. asked about club T-shirts.  Tim, N0RHM presented options for club T-shirts.  Club members can purchase blank T-shirts from Hobby Lobby and he can iron on a club designed transfer.  He will look into costs and report back.

Club Insurance - Ted K7CLP check with ARRL.  There was one provider available and with a club our size it is $200 a year for a one million dollar coverage policy.  The club can take a vote at the September meeting to see if we want to go that route.  Current dues won't cover it so the club will want to look at raising dues for next year.  Adam KD0RIZ will look up to see what club rules are in place to be able to make the dues change.

    - Club will raise dues to $20 from the current $12 per year.  Adam KD0RIZ made a motion to raise dues Dave AC0TF seconded.  Motion carried.

    - Club will proceed with the insurance after the first of the year when dues are renewed.  Motion by Ted K7CLP to purchase liability insurance through ARRL for the mentioned one million dollar policy above after Jan 1st 2016 and Adam KD0RIZ seconded.

New Business

Technician Class - Dave AC0TF brought up having a technician class as we talked about last year.  Saturday mornings was thrown out as the day instead of during the week as discussed last year.  Dave AC0TF, Adam KD0RIZ, or Gene KD0OBA will try and ask Tim N0RHM at the next Emergency Management meeting on his thoughts about getting some EM members into the class.

With no further business, a motion to adjourn was made by Ted K7CLP and seconded by, Chris AC0DN.  Motion carried.
