?With the discussion of newsletters, and of marketing the club - possibly mailing something to new hams...

Is it possible to put together a generic 4-page newsletter that we can have available at the meeting, and also use as possible mailer, per Tim's idea, for new hams as part of a "welcome to hamming" kit?

The reason I say 4-page is because that is a single 11x17 sheet folded in half. Much like my interim newsletter for January.


It can talk about regular meetings in general, and highlight some regulars - Field Day planning, Annual club auction, Plano balloon festival, annual holiday party, as well as programs on antennas, new radio releases, and other areas of interest to anyone with curiosity about the world around them.

It can also include more information about our regular activities, the 2- meter net, Skywarn net, foxhunting, hospital net, involvement with Meals on Wheels, Dallas Marathon, Turkey Trot, and a few more.

A general introduction letter from the president, a generalized meeting minutes not really too time specific, A few photos from meetings, as well as regular meeting information, General amateur radio info, and a list of some monthly contests ad operating events.

Ham class info, if any is available, and a note about pre-meeting testing before our meetings. to be licensed.

Basically an activity sheet that one would be interested in holding on to for the nets schedule, and a years' worth of contests.

Basically it's an Ad for ham radio, the club, and our meetings. With a little bit of date-specific information: future contests for 2025, and PARK meeting dates.

These could also be sent to local high school science teachers, libraries, etc.
