Please note: We will be meeting one week earlier than usual, due to the Christmas holiday.

Joe Pajor, KBØKFH, has lined up another great program for us for our last meeting of the year. It will be of general interest in connection with the Christmas season.

We need to elect officers for 2020 since we didn’t have time to do that at the October meeting. All offices are open for nominations: President, Vice President, and Secretary-Treasurer.

We hope to see you there. As always, you are welcome to bring your spouse or another friend.

We will have a musical program for our last meeting of the year. Troy and Joy Pulver will perform Christmas music on acoustic instruments. They played for us last December with The 37 Mile Band. Troy plays guitar and banjo, and Joy plays the hammered dulcimer. As always, please bring your spouse or another friend.

Also, please RSVP to Secretary-Treasurer Larry Cannon as soon as you can so we can let Spear’s Restaurant folks know how many tables to set up. Tell him if you are coming alone, 1, and if you are bringing your spouse or a friend, that will be 2. If you see a former Chapter 79 member invite him or her to join us again, and ask them to RSVP, too.

We are still taking nominations for all offices.You may make nominations for each office, but please be sure that the person(s) you nominate will serve if elected. You may nominate yourself (i.e., volunteer) for an office. We really need someone to be the vice president as that office has been vacant this year. We appreciate your help so we can vote at the December meeting and get a good start for 2019.

Our December meeting is a week early due to Christmas.

Our annual chapter election of officers for 2018 will be at this meeting.

We’ve been operating without a Vice President for the past year so it is imperative that we elect someone for this important office. Nominations for all offices will be accepted, and we welcome folks to nominate themselves. If you nominate someone else, that person must be willing to serve if elected. Please e-mail your nominations to Harold Childress, WBØLFH, wb0lfh@cox.net, by December 17, if you haven’t already done so.

Lloyd McCombs, KØLM, has lined up a very good musical program for this meeting.

Troy Pulver and his 37 Mile Band will entertain us with Christmas music and maybe some other songs.

The 37 Mile Band is an old-time acoustic string band. They play barn dances, coffee houses, farm and art markets, private parties, etc. They feature a variety of stringed acoustic instruments, and play folk and Celtic music, and at this time of year some Christmas music.

Bring a friend, and if you see a former Chapter 79 member ask him or her to join us again. If you have an idea for a program for one of our meetings, let Harold know.
