W?VFW November meeting will probably be the Most Important meeting of the year. Start making arrangements to attend.
?Meeting night is NOVEMBER 26th Starting at 7PM...
As usual, there will be eyeball chat before and after.
AT THIS TIME - I am not at liberty to divulge some things that are going on behind the scenes with the club..
HOPEFULLY by meeting night we will be able to announce certain plans currently in the making.
All I can say IF it comes about, It will change the W?VFW mission VERY positively in the Community.
We need to prepare for 2-3-4 possible outcomes.
Secondly, Nominations for NEXT Year's officers will be held.
Currently the elected offices are President, Vice President, Secretary/Treasurer.
Trustee of the Club FCC Callsign is appointed.
Over the years, we have been somewhat loose regarding assignments of
Training- VE testing - Technical - Repeater - Trustees- Field Days - HF station - Constitution and By-laws - Activities -Executive Planning- Moderators of the new 开云体育 (I have been moderator of the old Yahoo groups since Feburay 2012)
It is time to look at each of those and decide if we for instance for an executive board club steering type committee and use the features of groups.io as we CAN do polls and make subgroups now.
Finally- At the last meeting, we spoke about putting together a "Ham Radio Auction" on the 29th of Febuary Leep year Day. A SATURDAY. as our "Dead of Winter Extravaganza" a few years ago was a suscess.? I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM A SINGLE MEMBER WHO WILL PARTICIPATE or SERVE ON THE COMMITTEE I volunteered to head.?
Please CONTACT me if you willing to Volunteer, WE NEED TO Finalize a go-no go in it's regards. AS to start advertizing it so we can proceed. It will beasicall ybe our only fundraiser unless other people are willing to lug our donations to hamfests every few months. Coy W?ZRY and I have done it 5 years and many $$$ and many miles. Tenatively the Auction woul drun all day at the VFW post.? Equipment for auction would be accepted and marked for auction starting 8AM. Auction would start at NOON. The club would take 10% up to $10 commission. or 100% if donated.? For the Auction we need:

Prior to the start of AUCTION
#1 INTAKE VOLUNTEER Equipment
#2 INTAKE VOLUNTEER Setup Equipment for display.
