The antenna at the Holland Hospital main site and the south receive site are deteriorating and should be replaced.  Discussion and general agreement that HARC has sufficient funds for the repairs, and the Board will recommend that Laryn be authorized to make necessary repairs.

General Discussion: 
Administration responsibilities for amateur radio communications assistance to Red Cross efforts during Tulip Time.  Agreement that the responsibility was handed over to OCEC in 2009, and HARC cannot, and will not assume this responsibility.  The Board also agreed that it can make no commitments on behalf of its members, and can only recommend that its members participate to the fullest extent possible.

Assistance with Parade Lineup is a separate entity, requiring volunteers to sign up with the Tulip Time organization.  This also is not a “HARC Event” but members will be encouraged to help.

Adjourned: 9:00 pm
Respectfully submitted
