New meeting location (updated)

Our chapter meeting for Saturday, November 18 has a new location. We will meet at Walt’s Wichita East at 7732 East Central Avenue, Wichita. The entrance to Walt’s is on the north side (i.e., around back) of the building at this street address. If you get lost, call Joe Pajor at 316-734-1085 (as he will most likely also be lost).

We will be meeting in the meeting room on the north side of the restaurant. As soon as you enter the main door, turn left, proceed three feet and the entrance to our meeting room is on your left. We will order from the menu as usual and they have a nice bar if you are so inclined. (Our president is always eager to talk with a couple of drinks in him and you.)

We also have a new start time of 1:00 p.m.

We will have a special guest coming. Dan Spears, KFØKRY, who is the music director for Little River/Windom schools (USD 444) will join us to tell us about an amateur radio class and club that he is starting at his school. He is looking for support for this initiative that has been approved by his building principal and his local school board.

We also need to discuss our weekly Saturday morning net on the Sunflower Network. Our regular net control station operator is going to be unavailable until sometime after the first of the year due to a medical procedure.

Come and join the fun. If you want to see the menu, you can find it at: https://www.waltseast.com/#.

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks and 73.

Joe Pajor, KBØKFH
Kansas Sunflower Chapter #79 President
