I want to thank all the members, family and friends that attended the SBARA Spaghetti Dinner in October. We had over 50 people in attendance and all enjoyed the fun filled evening. A lot of people contributed to the success of the dinner but Jim and Joann Wood deserve special thanks for all the food preparation. It was wonderful to see so many faces that we hadn’t seen in a long time and all the new members who attended. The children and our young members in attendance clearly enjoyed the evening and they indicate to me how SBARA is a growing organization with a future. This month SBARA will be having elections for the 2006 leadership team. To show support for you leadership team please plan to attend the November 11th meeting and vote for the leadership slate. Nominations for President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer are open. If you want to run for a leadership position or nominate someone who does, e-mail the nomination to me at wt6k@arrl.net. Also remember, nominations will be taken from the floor on the 11th until ten minutes before the election vote. See the SBARA Board nominations in this issue of the Groundplane.

Next month is the last month of the year and traditionally there is no newsletter for the month. I want to take this last opportunity to thank all the SBARA leadership team members who have given of their time to support and build SBARA. Without their efforts our year would not have been a success. Also, I want to thank the membership for all their participation in this year’s events. Without your participation it would have been a lonely year. Finally, please plan to attend the traditional Holiday Potluck on December 9th. Again this year the club will provide drinks, cups, flatware, napkins and plates. Each family will be asked to bring a food dish with serving spoon to feed 10 people.Please reserve December 9th and join all the SBARA membership at the holiday potluck. In this issue you will find an article on the details of the potluck and what you are to bring. Be sure and look for the article.
