I believe our club is at a crossroads, times and situations have changed since the founding of the club over 25 years ago. At our recent board meeting, concerns were raised that the long-term core membership is aging out, some of us have worked hard over many years and want to avoid burn-out. The greatest concern perhaps, is assuring a succession of the club to newer generations of hams, and the passing on of the club&#8217;s knowledge base and technical ability to keep the repeaters running, and to keep a pool of trained communicators available for public service and emergencies in our area. We don&#8217;t want to see a malaise and decline set in, but want the club to be fun and vibrant.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s have a serious discussion, we want to hear from you what can be done to revitalize the club. Are changes needed? What can we do to build a technical pool? What engaging, fun things can we get into?<\/p>\n<p>We already have Field Day, probably the single biggest group project we engage in (with the DFMA).<br \/>\nCan we get teams for other contests as well?<br \/>\nWhat hands-on &#8220;clinics&#8221; would you like?<br \/>\nWhat presentations would you like best?<\/p>\n<p>It is your club, tell us what you like about it, what is not working, what you would want to see done.<\/p>\n<p>73,<\/p>\n<p>Dave, W4SAR<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our next monthly meeting will be held 7:00pm Monday at the Efland Baha&#8217;i Center.
