AMSAT News Service Bulletin 227.02 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. September 12, 2004
To ALL RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-255.02
Labor Day, has come and gone, now its back to work again, and also to get
ready for our Annual Meeting and 22nd Space Symposium in the Crowne Plaza
National Airport Hotel Arlington Va.
Our reserved rooms, at a great rate, are not available after the 15th of
September, so book now and get the AMSAT rate. I have received some
reports of a
problem with the hotel computer, I understand that that problem has noe
been
fixed and rooms are still available until Wednesday September 15th.
Call 1-703-416-1600 and ask for the AMSAT/ARISS special rates ($89/day).
I have had the opportunity to review the Agenda for the AMSAT portion of
the
meeting, and believe me when I say it looks as though it will be the best
meeting ever, Frank Bauer (KA3HDO) and his team are doing a great job in
organizing the meeting asnd making all the appropriate arrangements.
As usual there will be a number of fantastic prizes to be drawn for at the
Saturday evening Banquet including at least one full satellite transceiver.
All "President's Club" Gold and Silver members are invited to the
President's Club reception on the Friday Evening together with All AMSAT
Officers and
members of the "EAGLE" and "ECHO" teams. One more it will be my
pleasure to
Act as Host to this event and to introduce the Gold and Silver Members
to the
AMSAT workers!
This year will be unique in that we are holding the Board of Directors
meeting before the Annual meeting and Space Symposium, so that the
delegated will
be able to meet the new President after his election by the Board. At that
time I will then be the Immediate Past President and I am looking
forward to my
retirement as President.
It is appropriate that we change Presidents every few years to generate
new
ideas and keep AMSAT-NA as an up to date organization.
Next week we will see the results of this years elections for the Board of
Directors, and whoever is elected I look forward to working with my
collegues
on the Board for at least another year, Good Luck to All.
As I noted above, I will no longer be the AMSAT-NA President after October
7th, thus this will be my last "President's monthly letter" it only
remains for
me to say that I have enjoyed serving you as President and I look
forward to
being active in the Organization for many more years to come.
73
Robin Haighton VE3FRH
President AMSAT-NA
