Cool, thanks. FYI, I just purchased, but even though I clicked the non-member
link, it only charged me $35. So I can forward the difference to whoever I
need to.

Ravi,
The meal tickets are on sale to members and non-members. The prices are
different ($35 vs $50), follow the appropriate link for non-members and your
meal choice on the BVARC.org homepage (look for post about the banquet and the
PayPal links are there).
Thanks so much for reaching out and for your willingness to support this club
event. Please let me know if you have any other questions or need further
clarification.
73!

Hey Kori - question: Can I buy tickets for the banquet if I’m no longer a
member? I have no desire to re-join, but I consider all the people of BVARC to
be friends, and I’d like to be able to support the club if I can.

Hello BVARC members and friends,
I wanted to jump in here with another push for folks to sign up and support the
banquet. It's a very important event throughout the history of the club, and
it's looking like we may have to change our plans this year if we don't have
enough banquet reservations. I know that many of our members have reasons that
prevent them from attending. I absolutely understand that, and regardless we
thank you all for being members. If you can make it out we would really
appreciate having you join us at the banquet. We will move forward one way or
another, but I hope we can get at least another dozen or more to sign up so we
can follow through with the event at Bayland Community Center, and honor those
who have helped out with the club and the hobby.
Please get in your nominations before Sunday (you don't have to attend the
banquet to provide those), and I hope to see many of you at the banquet. Have a
great weekend, and again, thank you all for supporting the club by being
members and hanging out with us at our events. 73!
Again the awards up for nominations are below and the links to sign-up for the
banquet dinner are on the homepage at BVARC.org. The extended deadline is
Sunday January 7th.
The Loop and Zepp Award - This award is presented to the club member that has
exhibited outstanding service in HF operation and use.
The K1JT Award - This award is presented to the club members that have
exhibited outstanding service in VHF and above operation and use.
The Dr Bill Award - This award is presented to the club member that has
exhibited outstanding service as a Volunteer Examiner.
The Order of the Key Award - The club’s highest award. This award is presented
to the one club member that has exhibited outstanding service for the club and
amateur radio.
Send your nominations to Mike Hardwick N5VCX or any other board member to be
counted.

With me, the problem is DISTANCE and not being able to DRIVE, otherwise I'd
love to attend if not for recovering from "SHINGLES", this after having taken
the SHINGLIX Vaccine over a year ago & having had Chicken Pox in "1946" ..... (
The Pharmacist said the vaccine had a 97% Efficacy rate, guess I'm in the 3%
that the vaccine doesn't work on... )

I thought I would send out an update on the food ticket purchase for the BVARC
Annual Awards Banquet - it has been disappointing to say the least. Less than
10% of the members have purchased meals.
If you are not aware on what the BVARC Annual Awards Banquet is, it is an event
for club members to meet, eat dinner and honor other members of the club that
have worked hard supporting the club and the amateur radio hobby. With the low
sales of meals and the non-existent nominations (barely 1.5% of the club
membership has made nominations) it appears the bulk of the membership no
longer wants to honor those members. This is an unfortunate direction for an
event that shows appreciation to our outstanding members.
I have talked to the caterer, and she said she can work with a later deadline,
so the final drop-dead day has now been moved to Sunday, January 7th. If you
have any thoughts about attending, please purchase your meal tickets now. Even
if you are not attending, please make your nominations for the awards.
If you are not aware of the awards and what they are for, below is a list of
the awards and what they are for.
The Loop and Zepp Award - This award is presented to the club member that has
exhibited outstanding service in HF operation and use.
The K1JT Award - This award is presented to the club member that have exhibited
outstanding service in VHF and above operation and use.
The Dr Bill Award - This award is presented to the club member that has
exhibited outstanding service as a Volunteer Examiner.
The Order of the Key Award - The club’s highest award. This award is presented
to the one club member that has exhibited outstanding service for the club and
amateur radio.
Recommendations can also be made for Presidential awards, Appreciation
awards or any other recommendation for outstanding service by a club member.
For award nominations, please send an e-mail to n5...@att.net with your
recommendations. All nominations must now be in no later than Sunday, January
7th.
Remember, the various operating events the club has is only one function of the
club. The annual awards banquet is the time to honor club members that have
worked hard supporting the club and the amateur radio service. So, even if you
cannot make the banquet, send in your awards nomination.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
