COASTAL AMATEUR RADIO SOCIETY--- On
December 6th, this group held their annual Christmas Banquet at Johnny
Harris Restaurant in Savannah, and in addition to sharing a great meal and
great fellowship, the officers for next year were announced, and the
club's Ham of the Year was honored and celebrated. Congratulations to
these newly elected officers: President - JACK SINCLAIR, KG4SFW; VP - BILL
DELOACH, K4QCD; 2nd VP - BOB HARMAN, KG4WTO; Secretary - SUE JONAS, W4SWJ;
and Treasurer - JERE CONNAN, KT4ZB. Incoming Board Members DAVID
DELAMATER, K4DJD, JO ANN SOLOMON, KG4ZBW, and KAYTON SMITH, W4KTN, join
current board members DR. KEN GRIFFIN, W4JKG, and BILL SOLOMON, K4WCS.
Best wishes to all of these fine folks for a successful and enjoyable year
leading the club. Now, let's hear a drum roll and a hearty congratulations
for this year's freshly crowned Amateur of the Year, BILL DELOACH, K4QCD.
Congratulations, Bill, for this wonderful honor. This club has an
interesting distinction that not too many other clubs can claim, and
that's the Griffin family: when 11-year old TINSLEY, KI4HAY, recently
earned her license, she joined dad KEN, W4JKG, and granddad JOE, KI4DZK,
to make it a three generation ham family. (See the picture of this special
trio and more of their story at www.arrl-ga.org ) Members of the Coastal Amateur Radio Society and the Amateur Radio Club of Savannah pooled resources to collect over $260.00 in donations. This money was used to purchase a "sleigh-full" of toys for the White Dove Project, which club members DAVID DELAMATER, K4DJD, and KAYTON SMITH, W4KTN, then whisked down to deliver to the United Way office in Stewart, Florida.
(THANKS to Trustee STEVE JONAS, K4SDJ, for providing all of this
terrific info.)
