President’s Report
Greetings Everyone,
What a month this has been!

Superfest 21
In the middle of a global pandemic, having some hurdles to work through we as a club came together and made it happen. We know it wasn’t perfect, but we set out with a list of goals for this year, and every one was met. With a very long list of people, a huge thank you to everyone that volunteered their time and resources, and showed support for the club. It was great to see fellowship and camaraderie within our amateur radio community. Personally it was great to see old friends and make new friends, take suggestions from our vendor’s and attendees in ways we can improve our club hamfest.
Club Elections
Well folks it’s that time of year, If anyone would like to nominate someone for a board position, or be considered for a position, please make nominations before the close of business at the October club meeting.

SuperFest
The Superfest chairs, Deb WD9EB Superfest Chair, Tom W8NWG Raffle/Ticket Chair and Matt KD9ERS Prize Chair really want to express our gratitude to everyone who assisted with Superfest 2021.
Superfest 2021 was a tremendous success despite the disadvantages we found ourselves in this year. In the midst of everything that has happened in the last year and a half, we managed to pull it together and yes there were a few problems. Most of them have already been addressed and we will be back better and stronger next year.
Next year we will be returning to the East Peoria Event Center so mark your calendars for September 17th & 18th of 2022
October’s Superfest meeting will be on Thursday October 28th at 7:00pm. The Zoom link is on the Club Meetings page, all club members who want to assist are welcome to attend.
