Dorothy K6DSO, SBARC’s outgoing secretary and Tom N6YX, SBARC chief financial officer, oversaw the election on November 17, 2017 under flashlights during an SCE planned power outage scheduled during our regular Friday-night meeting time.
Despite the scheduled power outage at our meeting place, we were able to successfully conduct the SBARC election for the 2018 Board of Directors under portable, generator-powered lights. All of the nominated candidates were approved by the voting membership.
Members shared their own projects and experiments during “Homebrew Night” at the November General Club Meeting.
