I am on the ground floor of a new club. A group of dedicated hams in Perry County, PA have come together to form a club. Our first meeting was held over Zoom and there were 15 attendees. I feel that the attendance is promising. There are a lot of good ideas floating for activities and I am hopeful. The officers will meet soon and hash out details and present their concepts to the club for membership approval. Here is a copy of the meeting minutes as available on the web page perrycountyarc.org :

7:30 PM
Chris Fuller (N3MLB) gave a brief overview of the club and when it started a few years ago.
Chris gave an overview of the goals for the club which included hosting events for Field Day,
Special Events and other activities. He explained that in order to obtain a club call sign the club
needed to elect four positions which must include President, Vice President, Treasurer and
Secretary. Since the By Laws and the Constitution were drafted and shared with members on
the Perry County Amateur Radio Club’s website and Facebook page a month before the
meeting, potential members were encouraged to voice their opinion.
Several potential members shared what they wanted out of the club which included those
events mentioned by N3MLB. W3SHD, W3BUZ, KC3PNR and KB3PSN also contributed to
their thoughts and asked for more comments from the floor. Hearing no further thoughts, the
club moved onto discussions regarding electing club officers.
It was decided by the group to nominate several members and then have the members vote
through the polling feature within Zoom. W3SHD, KB3PSN, W3KAT, AL3C and N3MLB were all
nominated as potential officers. Hearing no further names, Chris Fuller initiated the poll for
President, Vice President, Secretary and then Treasurer. A total of fourteen votes were casted
as one person (W3JON) dropped off the Zoom meeting approximately thirty minutes
beforehand.
The members elected the following:
President: Matt Morrison, KB3PSN
Vice President: Chris Fuller, N3MLB
Secretary: Robin Cartwright, W3KAT
Treasurer: Scott Shedd, W3SHD
The remaining time was spent discussing potential club meeting dates and times. It was
decided the club officers must hold their official meeting within the next week or two and then
schedule a club meeting. It was decided that Thursdays seem to work best for everyone.
The meeting was adjourned arounded 8:45 PM.

I believe we are off to a good start.
