Whole Hog Cafe
2516 Cantrell Road
Little Rock, AR

We will eat at 5:30 p.m. and the meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. Note that we will be at the Cantrell location and NOT the Markham St. location.

Hope you can attend!

As I end my two-year stint as your president I want to take a moment to thank you for your support during this time. You have been gracious through my mistakes and I think we have accomplished some things together. I appreciate those of you who have stuck with the club and have helped bring it along.
Thanks for your help and I know you will stand behind Jim as he takes the helm of this great CAUHF Group!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
John - W5JLG

Randy Wright asked me to post the following announcement:

Weather team meeting... Thursday 11:30 Buffalo grill

We had a successful spotters class last month.. we had 175 completed spotters in the group.. A lot of those were ham radio operators and need to be involved in our group. We will be asking for help soon in getting them involved.

We have a lot to discuss as we approach the Winter Severe Storm Season. Please join us if you can.

See you there!

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for your support these last two years. You have been a great group to work with and I look forward to continuing on the Board for the next year. I know you join me in pledging to work with the incoming officers and new Board members as the club moves forward.
Since there are so many meetings and parties in December we chose several years ago to not have a meeting in December. So, from Barbara and myself, please have a very Merry Christmas and a great New Year. See you in 2012!

John Goswick - W5JLG

Folks,
There are only 95 tickets left for the Spotters Class! That means we will almost have a room full and we will need your help to make it a success. Please come out to help and go to the eventbrite website to grab a ticket. They are free and that will help us know how many from the club we can count on to help us that night.

See you November 29th!
John Goswick
