Re: It takes all kinds to have a successful amateur radio club

 

开云体育

I agree with the sentiment in the article, but it takes a bit of doing to get there.

We have a concept of a revitalized Field Day / Emergency Preparedness event, perhaps even a Winder Field Day
Fox Hunts
The weekly open net on Wednesdays
VE testing
there's CW Ops classes
Club auction

But I'm sure there could be more- inf you also include the activities of the other clubs as well.

I think they key thing can be cross-club marketing / promotion and communication, as well as public outreach to get information about what we _are_ doing in front of more people, who may be interested enough to also spearhead new activities - like Tony did his weekend antenna builds, local balloon launches, and more.

It's easy to have ideas, but it's a challenge to get people to spearhead the activity and for clubs to support each other in getting the word out, both within clubs and to the local community.

There's an opportunity to drive more public relations, and work with other clubs to share the load of being present at more public events throughout the area. For instance, PARK was one of the clubs that provided communications support at the Plano Balloon Festival, but there was no ham club who had a table there to promote ham radio to the hundreds that walked by the tables.

I feel that if the various PR reps from the different clubs regularly communicated and coordinated, we could be more effective in outreach on behalf of ham radio and preparedness.

There are a few names that I’m sure will be renewing, but there are more names, of those who I don’t recall seeing at a meeting for some time.

When I get home this weekend, I’ll send an email extolling renewals. ?Will also add a reminder to my piece in the next newsletter.

Re: Urgent Operating Expense (only for the scammer)

 

开云体育

Yep,?? you got it!?? (I forgot to hit send yesterday)

Now that they have this email address they may try to scam others in this group.

Please note, anyone else receiving these emails, the attacker will attempt to hurry? you through with vague statements indicating that there's a critical need, it's authorized by the highest level in the company, and it to be sent via UNREFUNDABLE payment methods.?? This includes Zelle, Wire Transfers, Cash App, (sometimes) Paypal, Crypto (usually bitcoin).?? If you send this funding to the scammers (this group, personal lives, primary job) the money is gone and cannot be recovered.

Remember that police will never ask for payment over the phone, presidents of companies have their patterns, if the pattern changes, has urgency or coercion, immediately challenge them, a true CEO will have no problems proving themselves and no transaction will have issues if you take the 10 minutes to verify them.
