All,I spoke with the Post Commander tonight, it appears that our Thursday W0VFW radio net will qualify towards Veteran Outreach hours for the Post.? The Saturday Visually Inconvenienced Hams Net may qualify as Community Outreach hours for the Post as well though that's a squishy area right now.?So, for those who are the weekly Net Control for the W0VFW net I would ask that you log the start/stop times of the net, who checked in.? For those who are members of the W0VFW ARC please let me know if you are a Veteran regardless of you being a member of the Post, its Auxiliary, or Riders club.Patricia H. - I don't know whether or not you provide the Visually Inconvenienced Hams Net with a record of who checks in and participates when you're Net Control but, if you do could you provide me with that information as well?Vic - As previously requested would be so kind as to modify the script to prompt the Net Control of that week to log the requested information?? I'd appreciate it.These hours will help the Post in accumulating hours towards their yearly goals.? I want the ARC to become more active with the Post in ways we are capable of doing.The Post was recently awarded "All State" and "All National" recognition due to hours, and other goals met.? The latter is quite prestigious as there are very stringent requirements to even be considered for "All National" and if I recall correctly we were one of three candidates in the running, although my memory has been somewhat dubious as of late.Either way, if we can "give back" and/or otherwise contribute to the Post meeting their goals we should.I plan on attending the Post House Committee meetings where/when practical so I can get a better idea of how the Post is ran which should help us better integrate and assist the Post and us in our? mission to assist Veterans.As to the weekly trivia question for the W0VFW net I would like some feedback from y'all whether it be good, bad, or indifferent.I look forward to next Tuesday's meeting which, weather permitting, will be held on the south patio.? For those who are not members of the Post, its Auxiliary or those who do not wish to walk through a dense cloud of smoke, the south gate? entrance will be open.Date - 27 June 2023Time - 7 PM or 1900 hoursGaylen W. Klein, USN(Ret.)President W0VFW ARC
