The ERARC Christmas Dinner started around 0550pm.
The December meeting of the ERARC was opened at 0658pm by Lonnie Underwood KI4EED, ERARC Vice President. (George Dietrich KF4YGL, ERARC President was called into work tonight). There were 27 members and guests in attendance. 
Lonnie welcomed all and especially thanked Bob Frazier WB8NRK, ERARC Treasurer for putting so much time into making the 2006 ERARC Membership and Repeater Instruction booklets. Bob handed out the booklets to those members present. It was suggested that we do not hold a ‘regular’ business meeting unless business was pressing. No meeting.
Patty Dietrich KG4AYM proceeded to call out door prize numbers and award prizes to those in attendance. Patrick Mills, the guest of L.A. Farmer KB8OOK and Steve O’Dell N8SNR, assisted her. Patty had procured some gifts for the dinner and members of the club donated others.
  ARES net control for December: 6th and 13th Lonnie Underwood KI4EED, 20th Hooger Fisher, and 27th George Dietrich.
  There was no 50/50 drawing for the flower fund.
  The meeting was adjourned at 715pm.
Respectfully submitted, George “Hooger” Fisher 111, W4OF, Secretary.
