We held our January meeting via Zoom on January 13th. We had 12 members and Western District Commander Jim Demott.
Once everybody was on board with Zoom, Base Commander Doug opened the meeting with a few comments of appreciation of keeping this organization together during this pandemic crisis.

The Treasurer’s Report was given by Steve S. indicating that our organization was still solvent. He also talked about the success of the Christmas luncheon. He asked the question if we should schedule next year’s Christmas luncheon with the Nile Country Club for Saturday 12-10-2022. Those in attendance voted yes, unanimously.
Next came the nomination of officers was discussed and after some dialog it was determined and subsequently approved by those in attendance that Mike D would be the new Base Commander, Larry A would stay as Sr. Vice Commander, Earl G. would stay as Jr. Vice Commander., Steve S. would stay as Treasurer and blog master, and that Larry A. would take over the duties of Secretary until a replacement can be recruited.
Jim Demott addressed the upcoming USSVI Western Region Roundup to be held in Reno, NV on April 25 thru 29, 2022. Registration info can be found on Facebook or on the website https://wrroundup.com/
Due to the time limit on the meetings for the free version of Zoom, one of our members agreed to convert his Zoom account to the pay level. This will allow us to have unlimited time for our online meeting and share screens and videos. Because of this, it has also been decided to continue the Zoom meeting access even when we return to live meetings. This will allow members to join the meeting from wherever they are using a computer, tablet, or smart phone.
Our next Seattle Base meeting will again be a Zoom meeting and is scheduled for February 18. We will put out more information about the meeting soon and will have a practice session scheduled ahead of time for those that need to test it out.
We hope to have our first in-person session of the year on March 8, 2022 at the Redmond VFW.
