Meeting minutes
November 7, 2007
7:40pm to 8:35pm
Holiday Party
We decided to have a holiday party, but set the date for January 12, around 5pm. We will make a potluck similar to 2 years ago. A thread on ih8mud will be created to iron out the details and to determine a location.
Swap Meet
It was decided to have the swap meet Saturday, April 12 or 19th. Felix will put together a list of tasks that need to be completed and dates. This list will be given to a Project Manager to delegate tasks and manage the Swap meet with Felix’s assistance. We are currently looking for a Swap Meet Project Manager and anyone else willing to help out. If we are to have prizes donated, we need to act now. We are currently expecting suggestions from members as to alternative locations. Any member that wants to suggest a location must first determine feasibility of hosting the club event there, a point of contact, and take a few pictures to post in a ih8mud thread that Sebastien will set up for the organization of the swap meet. It was suggested that we might want to keep the event local to DC Metropolitan area since it is the club’s home, and also avoid mixing in the swap meet with a camping trip or wheeling trip.
Electric Tech Day
Electric tech day went well, hosted by Ed. We set up relay’s for headlights in a 40, troubleshooted and electrical issue in the cooling fans of a diesel 60 series, and completed the dual battery setup in 100 series. We will look to do another electrical tech day soon, and possibly have a classroom, electrical 101 mini class at one of the next meetings (perhaps February).
