Greetings Ham Family
Last night's meeting felt pretty business heavy and it felt to me like folks didn't really enjoy it. This isn't the first meeting where folks felt a bit frustrated with an all business type meeting. And rather than complain I would like to offer a solution. Of course I can't fix this problem on my own and so I am writing this to get your input.
What if all major discussions and decisions were made by the Board? Then the monthly meeting could host a demonstration or perhaps a discussion like what we do on a net. We would need to line up demonstrators or guest speakers, however, then meetings with members would be less business and more hobby oriented. Your thoughts? How could we write up a bylaws fix to do this? Do you have other such suggestions in order to improve the monthly meeting? Let's work on this here as a team and make VFWARC great again. We can do this. Please share your thoughts.
Blessings
Pat, KE0TGA
PS. I really feel like if we want more regular attendance by members we need to make meetings interesting, informative, and fun. Please help make this happen. Your opinions matter.
Note: Thus monthly meeting agenda would look something like this.
1. Open meeting
2. Pledge
3. Role call of officers
4. New members?
5. Reading of Board meeting minutes or just read last month's meeting minutes.
5. Treasurer's report
6. Announcements based upon what the board decided we would do.
7. Demonstration or talk
8. New Business, if something absolutely needs group attention
9. Good of the order
10. Close
