It was then decided not to participate in the September 14^th VHF contest, due to some members going to the Richmond hamfest that day and due to the hot weather.

We then discussed what if anything needed to be done for the upcoming hamfest.  We reserved 3 tables for 2 hams that are coming to sell at the hamfest.  We also set up Wednesday, September 18 at 1:30pm as a time to meet at the recreation center to make sure everything we need will be available on the day of the hamfest.
