President Bill Svec, WA4BKW led the meeting.

Stan read a letter from Leland Smith, W5KL thanking the Club for its donation to the QCWA Scholarship Fund in memory of his wife Helen Smith, WA5WAR who passed away recently.

In response to a question about whether local students were aware of the QCWA Scholarship Fund, Bill Svec reported that the William Byrd High School now has an active Amateur Radio Club and station in the school. He thought the callsign of the club is WB4HS. Bill will make sure these students are aware of the Fund.

The meeting was adjourned at 5:48 PM and all in attendance enjoyed the pot luck dinner including the "tall tales" of the experiences of Bill, Buddy and Bob during their working years in the schools. Those who were unable to brave the fury of "Isabel" missed out on some very interesting stories.
