Editorial:
     We had a standing room only crowd at the meeting with around 40 folks in our socially distanced meeting room!  I am glad to see the membership coming back together and also all the new faces of which there were several this month.  Don't depend on my spotty reporting for club news and events,  come join us next month!!!

Please note:
The club's policy is to publish the last meeting minutes on the website well in advance of the next meeting.  This saves time at the meetings and gives members a chance to analyze and discuss any items at the meeting.  The minutes also include more details on club business than is possible in the Kerchunker.  Please go to the Meetings Page to view current and past meeting minutes.
