Should your membership on a committee require you to arrive earlier to attend a meeting of that committee, the additional expenses will be charged to the appropriate committee account. Revised Standing Order 04-1.39 reads: "The Board of Directors authorizes the attendance of Vice Directors at Board meetings. Expenses for attendance will be chargeable to the Board Meeting account." I look forward to seeing you and to our having a productive meeting in Connecticut. Sincere 73, David Sumner, K1ZZ Secretary
