Presentation
John Q KE4JQ filled in for Ria Jairam who couldn’t make it. John spoke about this year’s Jamboree on the Air experience and getting clubs involved in making it better going forward. Idea is to create a working group from multiple clubs to develop a plan to make participation easier for the clubs in multiple STEAM topics. Start with a small committee from BRARA. Idea is to get small teams in each club to plan out the event. Also need to meet with Scout groups. Goal is to make it fun. A number of members offered their assistance.
