My response to our disgruntled non-renewal.
Btw … I looked and unless he’s registered under a different name, ?this non-renewer is not on our groups.io mailing list.

I’m sorry that your experience with PARK have been less than your expectations.
?
- Please know that we have been taking steps to shorten the business meeting portion, but in the interest of transparency
and keeping our members involved, sometimes some items may take more time.
- We will continue to post future programs in the newsletter and to our K5PRK email list on groups.io.
- We plan to record our meetings and post those on the website.
- The big screen TV at the church is what it is.? We advise attendees to site closer if needed.
- I think we have been providing a wide range of programs related to Ham Radio. Members are always invited to
submit suggestions and requests.
- We always remind FD operators to be mindful of others wishing to operate.
- Past club officers were not forgotten.? There was not enough time to recognize every past officer individually, so we
decided to recognize the Founders, past Presidents, and other officers the way we did.? Thank you for the contributions you made as a club officer.
?
I still invite you to give PARK a try and renew your membership.? Clubs evolve over time and members come and go.? But it’s the members and their involvement that
make a club what it is, and we would welcome you back.
?

======
I belonged to Plano Klub for 30 years
?
Ii find the current meeting boring with 30 to 69 minutes of routine administratium that should be handled at board meetings
?
I seldom got emails on current meeting programs if ever and never could look into park website to find it out. No other way to get it
?
I belong to Richardon club. Meetings arte 15 minutes routine stuff. New members. Announcements of upcoming stuff.? Short break then program.?
?
It's also on Zoom so if weather bad or I'm out of town, I can join meeting.
?
Half programs from online presentations. Big screen in auditorium at church and via Zoom
?
Tired of too many. PARK programs not interesting to me.??
?
Been to PARK FD many times.? Not invited to operate.? No one in control.?
?
Go RWK FD.? Much better.??
?
Used to go, volunteer Ballon festival.? No more
?
Actually was officer PARK back in 1990s. Sort of ticked off when you had dinner honoring past Predidents but forgetting others like VP, treasurer, board members.?

I just completed my 3rd chemo cycle out of 6. All going well with
almost now side effects. I don't have any appointments until next
Friday.

I can get my son to move them right inside my back

PARK Field Day and the Red Cross
I know Mike is handling Field
Day.
We've spoken about exploring what partnering with local
organizations for a more "emergency preparedness" type event might
look like.
Maybe this will get to Mike, or someone else can hold it to the
board meeting.
I'll be away for two weeks so I didn't want to miss an opportunity
to nudge this forward while I was away.
-------- Forwarded Message --------
Hello Anthony,
Hope you are well!
I hear that you are reaching out to the Red Cross to potentially
participate in an event in Frisco for June of 2025.
We are certainly interested in hearing more about the plans for
this event!
I have included Nena Sopher who is the Community Disaster
Program Manager for Dallas and Collin County onto this email.
Please feel free to reach out to us and provide more information
about the plans for this event and how we might be able to play
a role.
Thank you for reaching out to the Red Cross.? We look forward to
hearing more about helping families in and around Frisco, Texas.
Hope you have a great day!

PARK Field Day and Disability Rights Texas
I know Mike is handling Field
Day.
We've spoken about exploring what partnering with local
organizations for a more "emergency preparedness" type event might
look like.
I had sent him an e-mail directly, but it bounced, (Mike's AOL
address) so I'm forwarding this to the group. Maybe this will get
to Mike, or someone else can hold it to the board meeting.
-------- Forwarded Message --------
I am in court both days so can’t
guarantee timing until after 5.
You can forward on if that is easier and
not missing with your trip!

I wanted to reach out because I am a
member of the Plano Amateur Radio Klub and our focus is not
only public service but also emergency preparedness. We have
a 2-day preparedness event called Field Day every June - the
fourth full weekend, and wonder if there's a way we can do
something together.
