The meeting was called to order at 1:22 pm at Perkins restaurant by Chairman Sakowski. The chairman decided to skip minutes and treasurer's report since neither the secretary or treasurer were able to make the meeting. He then called to the attendees for any old business and since there was none he moved on to new business. The rest of the discussion was about the Susquehanna nuclear power plant tour on December 29, 2010. The Snow date will be the following day. A background check form must be filled out by anyone wishing to attend. The chairman noted that we will only be allowed to have a maximum of 15 people on the tour so should there be more requests than we can accommodate we will first give active SBE members and then broadcast engineers preference. The meeting adjourned at 1:55pm
