The
"PREZ SEZ"
by Paul Cassel ve3sy@kwarc.org

Well this is my last Prez Sez column as your President. I certainly have enjoyed the past few years and, at the risk of missing someone wish to thank those who have made my job easier.

To Tedd Doda VE3TJD for all of the efforts and personal expense that Tedd has made over the years providing K-W and area amateurs with a superb Packet BBS.

To Dave Schwartz VA3DGS for his tremendous efforts over the past three years developing our internet based club database that allows all of the club Exec members the ability to access all of the club records. from their homes. Dave also developed the Virtual Swap Shop allowing hams across the country the ability to buy and sell their goodies via the net.

To Terry Taylor VE3NEJ for his continued efforts at broadcasting the Shuttle Missions on VE3RCK. Many non-amateurs tune in on scanners during these STS missions.

To the Tech Committee John VE3AMZ, Tedd VE3TJD, Ben VA3BNY and Frank VE3OFH for there tireless efforts at keeping all of the club repeaters and packet nodes playing.

To Don Sinclair VE3ICD the clubs Internet Service Provider and web site host. Don is the owner of K-W Information gateway Services in Waterloo and has provided KWARC superb complimentary service since 1996.

To Ben Sasiela VA3BNY for providing KWARC members with another season of GREAT programs.

To the Amateur Radio Course instructors Gord VE3EOS, Roger VE3RKS, Bruce VE3ANU, Vern VE3RVS, and Ron VE3DBD who have graduated the last two classes with a 100% pass rate.

To Peter Miller VE3LAW our club legal council for his efforts at reestablishing our Incorporation status.

And to all of the Executive Committee members and anyone who I have missed for their efforts over the year.

Your new President, Dave Johnson VA3MRJ and Vice President Bob McKie VA3MCK have already started working on organizing the 1999 – 2000 season for KWARC. Please provide them with all of the help and support as KWARC moves into the next millennium..

I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.
