A great thought Richard. A big Thank You to all who work for the good of BVARC. And I would add, please be free and generous with your praises for our hard working fiends on an ongoing basis, not just in the aftermath of a mini crisis. JP K5JPPSent from my iPhoneOn Apr 16, 2023, at 8:18 AM,

Ok - not to minimize anyone here, but I want to take a minute to say thank you. Thank all our members that work their tail off every event. We often call out those who do not participate and give little prayer to those who do. I personally could not make the meeting because my son had a ball game

The meeting wasn't in Stafford. It was in West Houston close to the Bellaire & Addicks Clodine intersection. We all know hams love food, but it shouldn't be the deciding factor if people are going to attend. I checked the BVARC Beacon and emails from the reflector and I saw no mention of

With over 330 members please don't think you are being singled out. You took the time to participate by zoom along with roughly 10% of the club including in-person attendees. Somehow, I do not think all the rest were playing bingo at the VFW. 73 de Scott KD5FBA On Fri, Apr 14, 2023, 6:09 PM

I attended via zoom. Unless it's an emergency, I don't drive at night and it would have been unsafe for me to be crossing Houston at 10PM. I counted 18 last night that attended via the same format. It's not worth the risk to be on the freeways at night. Monty KI5JML On Fri, Apr 14, 2023 at

I live in the heights. I will not be attending any meetings in stafford at 6 or 7pm on a weekday. it would take me 2 hours to drive that at that time. If the meeting were at 5 or 530pm i could leave work and go straight there and it would only be 40min. (I work 1/2 way there). I dont know the

I am a life member.  I am also one of the grey hairs, at age 81.  I live in Tomball with my wife who is recovering from cancer.  It is difficult for me to get to BVARC meetings, but I would like to attend when opportunity allows. 73, Keith NM5G On Thursday, April 13, 2023 at 09:38:38 PM

John, You don't need to be a member to attend in-person. The presentation was good and hopefully will be available on line soon. 73 Scott KD5FBA On Thu, Apr 13, 2023, 11:01 PM John Ryan via BVARC wrote: > I am not a member of that club but wanted to catch the ZOOM of the > antenna

The pandemic is over. (Our government said so.) I think we should stop the zoom meeting. If you want to see and hear the speaker you have to be there. I agree with you on people not showing up. Mike KI5UBL 73 On Thu, Apr 13, 2023, 9:39 PM Eddie Runner via BVARC wrote: > *it was a great meeting

Perhaps the club should ask for RSVP maybe a week before the meeting, and whether they will be there in person or by Zoom. That should give you a better estimate of attendance than blind guessing. I admit I am surprised (but not pissed) by the fact that no one has thought of this before… 73
