Good Afternoon, Just passing along some photo's that you might enjoy seeing. We had the retirement party at the Chowder Pot in Hartford. I know that Penny was so appreciative of the gift and the kind words from all of you on the Board. Jon Bloom was kind enough to take these photos. Staff financed this party on our own. 73, Lisa https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ev1xtz1zo6sq4uo/AACDraTBFwVBDDLx-BWN_Efja

[arrl-odv:23085] Development Office

01 Aug '14

Yesterday was the official retirement date for Penny Harts, N1NAG and Mary Hobart, K1MMH. The occasion was suitably marked last night with a retirement party that drew 81 attendees: family, friends and colleagues. I am pleased to announce that effective today the Development Office is headed by Lauren Clarke, KB1YDD with the title of Development Manager. Lauren has been supervising the day-to-day functioning of the department while Mary has been devoting essentially full time to the Second Century Campaign, but now reports directly to me. Mary has agreed to remain available on a limited consulting basis to wrap up a couple of ongoing Second Century Campaign matters. Dave Sumner, K1ZZ Chief Executive Officer

Here is the list posted on ARRL's web site of the current 13 cosponsors for the Bill. We are expecting two more who have orally agreed to cosponsor, but now that the recess has started they are apparently not going to show up until September when the last two legislative sessions begins. As of July 31, 2014, the additional co-sponsors are: *Co-sponsor**Date Co-sponsored*Rep. Courtney, Joe [D-CT-2]* <https://beta.congress.gov/member/joe-courtney/1836>6/25/2014Rep. Grimm, Michael G.

We need to get more cosponsors though so this August recess is key for those Board members who are not coming to Washington in September. We need to let TKG know of your plans, so that your time and ARRL's money is best utiilzed. The dates again are: 9/8 to 9/11 9/16 to 9/19 Thanks, and especially to Mike Lisenco and President Craigie for burning up the halls on the House side this week, and to TKG which continues to do a good job for us overall. 73, Chris W3KD -- Christopher D.
