President Steve Called Meeting to Order at 7:15pm at the Red Cross office in Watseka.
A general discussion of both of the new repeater sites was talked about. The Cingular site for the cross band repeater and the WGFA site for the 444.625. Cingular has requested that the name on the lease be changed to the Red Cross. Sam has requested the president of the Red Cross board sign the lease.
Oscar Martin has signed the leases and 4 copies were sent to Cingular.
We would like to get our equipment down from the elevator to repair in the next few days. Benny is familiar with the site and offered to do the job.
