[NCDXA] NCDXA MEETING SATURDAY OCTOBER 22

[Alfred Laun]

Fellow NCDXA Members:

The October Meeting of NCDXA will be held from 5 to 7 PM, Saturday October
22,
in the Private Dining Room of the Ellipse Restaurant at the Fairview Park
Marriott Hotel, 3111 Fairview Park Drive, Falls Church, Virginia 22042.

The October meeting has traditionally been a very important meeting for the
NCDXA because it is where dues are collected for the following year and
where
the election of officers for the coming year takes place.  The by-laws
state
that only paid-up members can vote in the elections.  In order to allow all
those  who attend the meeting to vote, I am scheduling the dues payment as
the
first item of business, and the vote as the last item of business.

My apologies for the somewhat irregular and uncoordinated effort to collect
dues
in the recent past.  The fact that we were without a President at this time
last
year resulted in the normal dues collection sort of slipping by without
notice
to the members. Some of you may believe that you are already paid up but we
are
talking here about the dues for 2017. Dues are $30 per year.  Those members
unable
to attend are encouraged to pay their dues as outlined on the NCDXA Web
Site at
http://www.ncdxa.org/membership.shtml

As far as the elections are concerned, the term of office of John Kanode,
N4MM,
our Vice-President, does not expire until next year.  The term of office of
our Secretary-Treasurer, Jack Ference, W3KX, also does not expire until next
year.  However, Jack has indicated that he wishes to have those two offices
split up again as has been the custom in NCDXA's history.  Jack is willing
to continue to serve as Treasurer but wishes to give up the post of
Secretary.
As a result, Terry Hines, N4ZH has agreed to serve as Secretary.

So the only two offices up for election at this time are President and
Secretary.
Interim President Fred Laun, K3ZO has agreed to serve a full term as
President.
Of course members are invited to propose other candidates from the floor for
those two offices in the course of the nominating process.

Driving directions to the meeting follow.  Drinks and dinner can be ordered
from
the hotel at the meeting.
