    Dave Propper, K2DP, Midwest Division Vice Director, and I would like to
    invite you to a Midwest Division Town Hall meeting via Zoom.

    As I have written about and stated during my presentations to clubs and
    at hamfests, the ARRL is working to get closer to its members. This
    topic is important in discussions with our fellow ARRL Board members.
    Holding Town Hall meetings is one of the suggested techniques to improve communications.

    Dave and I have scheduled our first Town Hall meeting on Wednesday,
    March 22, 2023, at 7:30pm Central Time.

    The agenda will be pretty simple. Dave and I will talk about issues and opportunities involving ham radio and the League. Then we will open the "floor" for comments, questions, and suggestions from you. Here's our
    chance to discuss your ideas and your concerns. If our discussion shows
    a need for Dave and/or me to take an action item, we'll do that.

    Please join us. The Zoom invite appears below.

    Thanks for all you are doing for the hobby, the ARRL, and your
    communities.

    First of all, thank you to all the people who joined our Zoom Town Hall Meeting. There were approximately 128 of you. Great turn out!

    Vice Director Dave Propper, K2DP, and I really appreciate your
    questions, comments, and kind words about the session.

    We especially thank the Midwest Division Section Managers as well as
    Steve Ewald, WV1X, ARRL Field Services Supervisor for being there and
    adding to our discussion.

    It was a very successful event in our estimation.

    For those of you who couldn't attend and for those of you who want to
    review what happened, I posted the video of the event on my YouTube
    page. It is "unlisted". That means you must have the link to see it.
    The link is:

    https://youtu.be/h7k2nS_1lDo

    It may be appropriate to make recordings of our sessions public and
    searchable. We'll consider that.

    Also, I left my screen in "gallery" mode. I probably should have used "speaker" mode so that the speaker was obvious. Lesson for next time.

    Again, thank you.
