Amateur Radio Club Meetings:

MRC Meetings

Wednesday, November 21, 2007

The next board meeting will be on Wednesday, November 21st at the Wauwatosa Savings Bank on South 27th Street.  Meeting will start at 7 PM, and it will be open to the membership.

Instead of trying to make the Swapfest debrief an official membership meeting, I felt it better to make it a board meeting, open to all that want to attend, and the swapfest results can still be in the official minutes.

All Meetings unless otherwise noted will be held at:
Oak Creek Wauwatosa Savings Bank
6560 South 27th Street
