Nine members attended and several built the 1.5 volt to 9 volt battery tester. The kits were built and most left with a working one but for those who did not get theirs working, return for the next meeting which will be held at the Rural Law Enforcement Tech Center on March 12th at 6 PM and the Right Fork Engineering Crew will be there to assess the problem. Also there will be a prize for the Best Kit Enclosure (builder required to supply). Click HERE to view pictures taken at the meeting.
