At the meeting we also looked at three proposed logos for the 2006 convention and selected one. We are contemplating lapel pins. We are starting to put together a 2006 convention committee so we can begin planning.
Our luncheon meeting ended with a very interesting presentation by a young grade 11 student Liz Ferguson VA6LIZ who spent two weeks at the Johnson Space Center on a youth program. Liz is planning on attending university and getting a degree in space engineering.
