I saw headWAY being made along with some setbacks.

Setback being the WARC situation for field days.. Typical of my 15 year
dealing with that group since I 1st came to Wichita, attended 3-4 meetings
at the Red Cross and was never asked who I was, if was a ham and if I
wanted to join. I have other stories but my opinion only. FYI they have VE
ham Testing June 3rd.

Just saying, I am convinced it's the water here in Wichita, as living
elsewhere and belonging to other ham radio clubs. as my QRZ brag lists
clubs I've belonged to over my many years. And I was dumb enough to pay my
dues for next year all ready...

The second set back - Gaylen..his operation next week. So I think it
behooves all of us to pitch in becasue it's not his fault he an old
sailor.
topics we need to address - either here by comment or at the exec board
meeting.

1#. I am making headway on my rental. I have received a partial insurance
payment for some of the damage the tenant did. However try getting a
contractor these days. I have a guy that has 3 projects he's juggling plus
he was to start enclosing my back porch 2 months ago, A project we agreed
to over a year ago. Fortunately, this contractor is a good Christian and
hard working. Anyone want to see his work. I am impressed. Still my rental
is out of commission and not income producing.

2#. I have a table for the June 3rd Dallas fort Worth Hamfest. I will be
gone June 2-3 as I need to get rid of things that are pre-covid and
hamfests shut down for 2-3 years.

3#. I do have an opinion that June, July, August and September.. We have
the meetings in the Patio.. I and others would trade heat for smoke. A
topic the exec board to recommend. Patio heat is still better than air
conditioned smoke.

4#. We almost need to move prior to the EXEC meeting. regarding a junkbox
of "stuff" we have in the ham shack. I will obtain permission of the
Commander as it is VFW property, to be able to sell it at the Derby Radio
Shack Side Walk Sale.
A. I have a brand new never used 10x10 canopy.
B. I have 3- 8 foot folding tables
C. I have a cash box I can load with about $40 in change ( everyone has
$20's and want to buy a $1 item) seed money we can start with.
D. I can get tHere at 5am and set up the canopy and get a good spot.
E. I MUST HAVE HELP. SO HELP ME - I AM NOT DOING IT ALONE!!! My supposed
to last 10 years pig valve will be over 12 at the sidewalk sale.
F. If someone has an item to donate to the tables with proceeds to the VFW
you would bring the tables.
G. Anything not sold (VFW historically has asked for a donation) Will go
into the dumpster.. or you take it home. no exceptions.
H. Years past we rotated crews with trips across the street for
breakfast..
J. Someone could bring a cooler with bottled water and or donuts for
workers.
k. The would run from 5am till Noon.. I believe June 17 as Field Days is
June 24-25.
L. Our selling junk and donations at the Sidewalk sale and at hamfests
years prior has been the only revenue the club has except for membership
dues.
