As near as I can tell, the club got started about 2008. I have a JPG dated 3-11-2009 of a W0VFW LOGO.? I have attached it..
Anyhow if there is some documentation as to when exactly W0VFW actually started I'd like to verify the start.

Regarding Dennis Godsbey- I believe the officers should be able to determine and order an award to recognize Dennis's participation in W0VFW as the last remaining? Charter Member.

We have voted to honor him with a life membership and used words such as EMERITUS...

adjective

- Retired but retaining an honorary title corresponding to that held immediately before retirement.
- Honorably discharged from the performance of public duty on account of age, infirmity, or long and faithful services; -- said of an officer of a college or pastor of a church.
- Retired, but retaining an honorific version of previous title; especially used with professor.
I know Dennis was Past President 2 years, and I believe he was president? in the beginning. 开云体育 3-4 terms total. For the 12 years I led the VE testing program, he would open the VFW at 7am for VE exams. as he was a VFW trustee and had keys to the place.

Therefore I believe we should bestow the term PRESIDENT EMERITUS. As the definition allows.

Finally, I have been surfing the following site.. It's one of the BIG Plaque- Awards companies that offers services via the internet. Free Shipping, Free logo's.. Free limited engraving.
It's a company that does it every day and specializes in exactly what we're interested in. They do not only plaques and trophies but crystals and acrylics.. ? I recommend visiting the site and perhaps formulating.
I wish to invite anyone to discuss an awards order with me that we can present at the next EXECUTIVE Board meeting and order perhaps for the July meeting. As they claim 24 hour turn around.

They do have logo's that can be placed on the awards and clicking on their stock logo's they have 1 to 50 year service award logo's.. or we could perhaps do the W0VFW logo that will be on the banner..

Here is the web site for the plaque-awards manufacturer...

Bill -Normally I would agree with you, however here's the situation.
Dennis - my dearest ham radio buddy, has had a number of operations for cancer. He is? on a heart pump? and 3 weeks ago at a past VFW Commander's funeral, Dennis informed me he has his kidneys shutting down.
He can no longer walk and is in a motorized wheel chair. He's be air flighted to Kansas City 2-3 times this past year.

Dennis is a Vietnam Veteran. and for those reasons I think a plaque that normally is mounted on a wall, just wouldn't be proper as he's not often in the ham shack or would hang it on? some wall in his house.?

Because of his situation he basically is in a? recliner during the day and a hospital bed at night.
The Acrylic award like "statue" would can easily be placed on a night stand or coffee table and should he be hospitalized, placed at his bed side? to remind him we all care.. I am sure he would be proud of it.? and can easily be taken in his back pack.

For that reason, I favor the Acrylic award... I am open to all suggestions from all the members.
The Acrylic awards are available in many configurations and some are even lighted.. Would make a nice night light.
I still have not heard from the manufacturer if they can engrave a SLASHED ZERO...

The award engraving company has numerous Acrylic awards of various sizes and shapes.? Anyone can view more of those items including the light up ones at:



Enjoy the evening all,
Larry W8LM.
