I will echo Mark's comments. Apart from my computer melting down (charging cable was loose and it went into power save mode when the battery almost died) we went rather smooth. I would especially like to thank Carla who ran the meeting extremely well. I am hoping we can do a motion thanking the staff when the proceedings are concluded. I am producing a video with my thoughts (good ones) for my division members. Of course, nothing Board confidential gets shown or said but members appreciate the insight into how their League is governed. 73 Ria, N2RJ On Fri, 17 Jul 2020 at 20:53, Mark J Tharp <kb7hdx@gmail.com> wrote:

I would like to thank all members of the board, officers, and participating staff members for an outstanding meeting today.

Rick did a great job keeping the cats within the fence, and I appreciate all the directors who agreed to "lump" some items into one vote. That was a huge time saving process.

The work done prior to this meeting was obvious and again I credit Rick for beating that into our heads the last few days.

Nothing; however, beats in-person meetings. Having the one on one time, and the discussions that go along with such meetings can not be replaced with ZOOM.

That being said, I think today went better than some thought, and perhaps just as others predicted.

In my opinion it went very well, and although we could not be together in person, we were definitely together in spirit.

Thanks all for a great day, and I look forward to the next time we can see each other in person.

73.. Mark, HDX
