Lentini Communications, Berlin, CT

President Nick welcomed everyone including a new member. We had 11 members in attendance.

Nick reminded members of the Spring Banquet, and to get their reservation in soon.

Also a reminder was given for the work detail scheduled for Sat. Feb 27th at 9am to paint the scaffolding at

the Walton Tool Co. inWest Hartford. A show of hands willing to help was a count of 6.

Nick introduced Alex Lentini who gave us a overview of their operation, what they do, the products they sell

and service. This is amuch bigger facility than the one that they had in Newington Center.

Of special interest was a demonstration of CB Radios. This is an excellent way to communicate to all drivers

on a tour, for directions, changes in the original plan, safety, and needl ing comments to provoke laughter.

Other clubs have been using CB’s for many years.

Nick thanked George Scheyd for arranging his venue.

Meeting adjourned at 8:
