A majority of the active Members having voted for, and approved, the Club buying a new repeater, everyone that can should come to this meeting to help make the decision on which repeater to purchase. This is really important and will affect the Club for years to come so your input is needed. Nothing has been decided yet; but it could be this meeting.
