Hello members, At our last meeting, held in November 2022 we organized the by-laws of the society to allow for Zoom meetings as a valid attendance mode. In the intervening time since that date not much has changed. There are some overlapping efforts by the tech director and myself...well he's been doing the hardest work and I've been tagged to go along. He'll be telling us about what he has been upto for the society's overall and specific needs as pertinent to software and hardware. We did meet with the vendor (SolutionInc) to discuss partnership opportunities and further collaboration and based on that meeting were offered the services of the company's graphic design artist to expedite a pamphlet development and design gratis. We have that with us this evening. There's also a presentation that Chris Maxwell will tell you about during his presentation. There's no annual financial report ready as the accountant was not happy with the reconciliation of a few items totaling about less than a $1000. We have had two more departures from inside of our community: Tony Cianfaglione (who worked at our help desk) and Reginald Hody who did a stint in the office and was essential to the society's office operations before he stopped for health reasons. May they walk the sky roads. Kind regards, Shahab
