I was very please at the turnout at<br />
'he last club meeting. With the homebrew<br />
night on the agenda, there was a<br />
pretty good turnout. For those who<br />
missed it, they didn't get a chance to see<br />
the array of hornebrew items from our<br />
talented members. hems ranged from<br />
kits built to scratch built equipment.<br />
AIl were equally impressive.<br />
Well, starting with the March meeting,<br />
P ARC has to have a new place to<br />
meet, because of renovation at the<br />
Carlsbad Safety Center. The Board finally<br />
selected a site, The Carlsbad Village<br />
Theater.<br />
I had a chance to preview the new<br />
meeting place and was really surprised.<br />
Although I pass it twice a day on my<br />
way to and from work, I never r~lly<br />
took notice of the building or the SignS<br />
out front. The theater has been completely<br />
remodeled and rivals some ofthe<br />
new theaters that are being constructed<br />
today. It does have a forty foot curved<br />
screen that I hope we can take advantage<br />
ofduring the period we meet there.<br />
Boy, if we showed some field day or<br />
microwave contesting videos, you<br />
would feel like you were actually there<br />
in the field with your fellow Hams. I<br />
think that, at least for the time we will<br />
be meeting at the theater, that all of us<br />
will be very comfortable in the new<br />
surroundings.<br />
For the member, who wants to remain<br />
anonymous, that suggested and<br />
arranged the meeting for the board to<br />
see and approve the theater, I thank you<br />
on behalf of the entire P ARC membership<br />
for you efforts in helping our clu~.<br />
Changes for P ARC doesn't stop with<br />
the selection of a new meeting place.<br />
There are several changes taking place<br />
on the Board as well. Effective at the<br />
close of the last board meeting, AL<br />

care of our membership lists and software.<br />
So with the approval ofthe board, I<br />
have ~ppointed<br />
AL our Membership<br />
Chairman. He brings with him software<br />
programming and database ~a~ement<br />
experience that his new position requires.<br />
Ralph, KC6WAN, w~o has<br />
held that position and has filled m du:<br />
ing the absence of Jim, KD6IVF, wIll<br />
assist him.<br />
With approval of the board, I have<br />
appointed Dave Patters~, WB~DAV<br />
as Secretary effective unmedlately.<br />
Dave has agreed to volunteer his time to<br />
help PARCo .<br />
Please join me in congratulatmg<br />
these members on their new positions<br />
and give them your support. I am sure<br />
that these changes are for the better and<br />
AI, Ralph and Dave will serve our club<br />
