The Savannah Section was pleased to have the IEEE Board of Directors
and associated committees meet in Savannah in February. We appreciated
the attention we received, the 50th Anniversary Banner, and the
ability to attend some of the meetings.

I am sorry to report that our Section Secretary / Treasurer Ardian
Greca resigned due to a life-threatening illness. Please remember
Ardian in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. We are
currently in a search mode for his replacement.

We are also seeking a Program Chair since we seem to be operating on a
month - month basis for planning the section meetings / speakers.

The Section participated in an Engineering Week Conference on
Feb. 26th on Tybee Island in cooperation with several other societies.
Members are volunteering as Science Fair judges in Georgia and South
Carolina.  The Section has also volunteered to offer a day of courses
as part ofa summer Engineering academy for local high school
students. Planning continues on the section's celebration of its 50th
Anniversary on Thursday October 14 2004. Please let us know if any of
you will be in Savannah on that date.

I won't be able to attend the Region Meeting at SoutheastCon but Chris
Hardy and Bill Ratcliff will be attending if you have any questions
regarding the Savannah Section. I hope your meetings are productive
and I look forward to meeting with you sometime in the future.

Robert Cook
