More new appointments for January

Congratulations to our newest EC

Paul Scott, WB6ARF restarted the ARES group in McDonald County, District D as the EC effective January 18th, 2012.  He will be assisted by newly appointed AEC  Jesse Weiberg, W0MIX.   The Joplin tornado and resultant communications problems has created real interest in Ham radio in SW Missouri and Paul & Jesse jumped in and got new licensed hams and restarted the ARES group.   Great job!

District C / Franklin county has a newly appointed AEC who will be responsible for their Digital Operations.  Please extend your congratulations to Chris Westrick KD0JVF.

July Appointments & Meeting Suggestion

We have two new EC’s for the month of July.
David Newman  KB0NWT    was appointed as EC of Scotland County in District B
Don Vary  KD0HHN   was appointed as EC of Marion County in District B
Lyndall Newton  KD0BWP  was appointed as AEC for Webster County in District D
Welcome to each of you and glad that you have committed to making Missouri ARES® a better organization.
Jeff Young KB3HF  DEC for District C set up a District meeting during the Zero Beaters Hamfest in Washington, Mo on 7-17-11
Since this is an outside hamfest it was a little warm but a good meeting and I wanted to thank Jeff for his efforts to make it happen.  It was nice to have the chance to meet Jeff as well as some of the EC’s in person.
I am trying to get to each District for a meeting with the DEC & EC’s (all ARES members are welcome to attend) during a local hamfest or event.  District A, C, D, & E are done.  Hopefullly I will get to everyone by the end of the year.
One major idea, presented during the meeting, was to set up a place to collect presentation & training materials, etc. that would allow any ARES® member to download things and not have to “reinvent the wheel”
I think this is great and so I am asking any of you that have presentations, training materials, etc. that you have developed and not available from ARRL. for example, to send them to me.
We will set up a method on the ares-mo.org website under Training where you will be able to review & downlonad the materials so you can make minor changes — pertaining to your county — and use it during your meetings, etc.   I hope that we can help us help ourselves and have additional training aids.
The section roster is getting closer to completion.  I got the latest info from ARRL on 7-15-11 and I am checking it against the info that is on the section roster.  I do need the cooperation of all the DEC’s and EC’s to insure we have the correct information.  I would like to have this released by the end of August.  Likewise I will be using the roster to update the appointments that show up on the ares-mo website.  You should be getting an email yet this week with any questions I have related to your District.
