 Welcome speeches were given by Mike Andrews - VE7MPA, the Director of North Shore Emergency Management and Nick Massey - VA7NRM, the President of the North Shore Amateur Radio Club. VE7MPA detailed what they are doing at NSEM with respect to technology and emergency drills.
-The first half of the meeting involved approving past minutes, reports from various Directors, and new business.  The AARL has stopped providing the funds they used to to coordination councils for their repeater databases as they have stopped selling their repeater book.  The BCARCC is now 100% funded by their members.  It was decided at the meeting that in following years, membership would be raised by $5 to $25 per delegate to help cover the shortfall.  A committee was started to look at ways to reduce technology costs.

 Elections for Directors went quickly but some regions did not have representation so the Secretary VE7EF will canvas for Directors from the unrepresented areas.  VE7RBE was voted in as a Director for the Lower Mainland and voted in as Vice-President.
 The BCARCC is funded by its members and benefits all amateur radio clubs.  It would be great to see more clubs sending delegates to future AGMs.
