  1. The meeting was called to order by club president KØLUM at 7:26 PM. 16 Hams were present.
  2. Club Secretary KØACP read the June meeting minutes. Minutes were accepted.
  3. Club Treasurer KCØJFQ reported a healthy balance in the bank. $64 is owed to W3ACO for Field Day 2011 at City Park.
  4. The Grant Wood meeting room can now only be booked 90-days in advance. IC Public Library is poor for parking. Coralville only allows 1 meeting at a time reservations. KØACP will follow-up with the Library Director to see a longer-term reservation could be made for our not-for-profit. Kirkwood in IC may also be a solution.
