Annual Meeting and Holiday Party

On Thursday, December 8th, the IEEE Huntsville Section met for the Annual Meeting and HATS Holiday Party.  Both events were hosted at the Huntsville Botanical Garden.  During the annual meeting, we recognized the accomplishments of 2009, voted to approve the slate of officers for the year 2010 and recognized our volunteers for 2009 with a framed certificate of appreciation for their outstanding work.  We also approved the 2010 Operating Budget.

The slate of officers for 2010 are as follows: myself, Courtney Spivey (Chair), Bob Robinson (Vice Chair), Tommy McGuire (Treasurer), Roger Bolton (Secretary), J.D. Daniels (Member-At-Large), and Doug Parker (Member-At-Large).  I am excited to have two new faces, J.D. and Roger, on the Executive Committee.

Immediately following the IEEE Huntsville Annual Meeting, we joined the HATS Holiday Party in the Arbor Room of the Botanical Garden.  This was a very nice way to meet and greet members of other technical organizations.

Makers Local 256 Open House

Saturday, December 5th, the IEEE GOLD (Graduates of the Last Decade) attended an open house at the Makers Local 256.   If you haven’t visited the Makers, you’re really missing out.  Among the many gadgets and inventions, I was really wowed by the full reproduction Ghostbusters costumes, including the ghost trap.  These costumes were carefully crafted with painstaking attention to detail by Wayne Neumeier, and his three Ghostbuster pals.  But let’s not forget the old school Geiger counter, retrofitted with a WiFi detector, the webcam3D scanner or the beverage cooling system complete with dispensing nozzles.  Where else can you enjoy a friendly Oscilloscope tennis match with the ambiance of a Jacob’s Ladder pleasantly zap-zap-zapping away in the background?  Only, I suppose, at the Makers Local 256.
