Please pass along congratulations to the following:

Kyle Albertina  KC9IMA   New EC for Iron County in District E.   To my knowledge there has not been an ARES group in Iron County before now

Steven Pierce, WA5ICX has accepted the position of EC for St. Clair County in District D.  Again this is a brand new ARES group in a county without prior presence.

Jeffery Reppert, K0ITR has accepted the position of AEC for Lawrence County in District D.   Katherine, the previous AEC moved to the KC area.

Janet Rosier, KD0PSZ has accepted the position of AEC for Barry  County in District D.

Thanks to all of you for helping to keep the Missouri Section of ARES growing.

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.
