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.

It’s that time of year again. It is time to elect your board of directors for 2018. We also have two other items to vote on, so we hope to have a good turnout this year.
Not only will we be conducting the election, the November meeting is also traditionally been Homebrew Night. We invite everyone to bring a something you have built, or a project in progress, to show, demonstrate, and tell your ham friends about. Homebrew is what being a ham is all about! Anyone can go buy a radio, antenna or other accessory, but to many hams, building their own gear is much more fun and rewarding. So bring something (or a lot of things) because we’re all interested in seeing what you’re up to!
The official SBARC ballot is available by clicking here. We hope you can make it to the meeting, but if you can’t for some reason, we still hope you will cast your vote by absentee ballot. We are trying to make the procedure for casting absentee ballots easier this year, so here is the procedure:
Please note, if you are submitting your absentee ballot by email, it must be received by 11:59 PM on November 16, 2017.
