You might get this to Norm for the club newsletter as well. 73, Mary K1MMH Mary M. Hobart, K1MMH Chief Development Officer ARRL Telephone: 860-594-0397 Fax: 860-594-0259 email: mhobart(a)arrl.org <mailto:mhobart@arrl.org> ________________________________ From: Kramer, Harold, WJ1B [mailto:wj1b@arrl.org] Sent: Monday, January 12, 2009 10:56 AM To: arrl-odv Cc: Petrilli, Diane, KB1RNF Subject: [arrl-odv:17462] FW: Senior Discount Hi, Here is a message that I am passing along from Diane Petrilli. Steve Ewald is sending it to the SM List also. See all of you in a few days. Bring your warm clothing, it's supposed to be chilly here in CT! 73, Harold ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- Dear Directors and Section Managers, Just wanted to remind you that the senior discount has been eliminated. Despite continuous increases in costs (inflation, expenses, and cost of living), ARRL has worked hard to keep membership dues stable and has not had a dues increase since 2001. In January 2008, the ARRL Board of Directors made a decision to eliminate the $3 senior membership dues discount, effective January 1, 2009. While $3 is a small amount, less than a penny a day, the change will allow ARRL to continue to hold the line against a more general dues increase. ARRL membership is $39 per year in the US, and includes monthly delivery of ARRL's popular membership journal, QST magazine. A special rate for family members and youth may apply. Contact ARRL for details. Accordingly, the membership applications on the Section and Division pages on www.arrl.org have been updated to reflect this change. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Diane M. Petrilli, KB1RNF Membership Manager ARRL - The national association for Amateur Radio 225 Main Street Newington, CT 06111 P: (860) 594-0297 F: (860) 594-0259 E-mail: dpetrilli(a)arrl.org

Director Reports
by Joel Harrison 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

In addition to the required reports for the board from committee, etc, I want to strongly encourage each director to submit a report as recommended in the By-laws as follows: "At least 14 days prior to each annual meeting of the Board of Directors each director is encouraged to file with the Secretary a written report on the status of the affairs of the League in his division, together with a statement of his recommendations as to any actions required for the effective administration of the objectives and affairs of the League." Previously only one Director, Director Leggette, followed that recommendation and so far for the 2009 Annual Meeting only one Director, Director Sarratt, has submitted a report. Please seriously consider this By-law recommendation and submit a report. 73 Joel W5ZN

[arrl-odv:17460] Cold wx forecast for Board Meeting
by Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Good morning, and welcome to Board Meeting Week. The weather forecast for later this week calls for light snow (no more than 4 inches) on Thursday followed by bitter cold: below zero overnight and possibly not out of the single digits during the day on Friday. While this will not faze our Minnesota colleagues, those of you from warmer climes should plan to dress accordingly. Speaking of dress, we will be taking the annual Board photograph after lunch on Friday. Please wear a jacket and tie (or feminine equivalent) for that occasion; otherwise, "business casual" is fine. Dave Sumner, K1ZZ
