> I enjoyed seeing everyone Saturday in Russellville at our 1st Quarterly
> Meeting of 2018. We had excellent attendance at our forum and our meeting.
> Thanks to everyone for attending. It is especially refreshing to have the
> support and attendance of our ARRL Delta Division Director K5UZ, Delta
> Division Vice Director WB4RHQ and Arkansas Section Manager N5LKE
>
> Some of you have asked for a copy of my forum presentation in order to
> have the internet links I mentioned. It is attached.
>
> During our business meeting we took action on three items. First, the
> Executive Committee presented a proposal that was approved to fund the 3B7
> St. Brandon DXPedition for $100.
>
> The next two items were proposals from the Executive Committee to revise
> our Articles of Association pertaining to honorary members. We currently
> have two levels of honorary membership, an "Honorary Life Membership" and
> an "Honorary Membership".
>
> Honorary Life Membership is detailed in Article 3 (d.) and allows for any
> active member 75 years of age and having 15 years of previous paid
> membership to be considered for this. The last sentence of this Article
> prevented an Honorary Life Member from having the rights and/or benefits
> of a full or associate member. The Executive Committee believed, and the
> members present unanimously agreed, that this sentence penalized a person
> who has been very active in ADXA, has paid a minimum of 15 years dues to
> ADXA and is an asset to the organization. The motion presented from the
> EC, and unanimously approved by the membership present, deletes the last
> sentence of Article 3 (d.) therefore allowing an Honorary Life Member to
> have full membership rights.
>
> Honorary Membership is detailed in Article 3 (e.) and limits an Honorary
> Member to just one year. The Executive believed there may be situations
> arise where we want to bestow an Honorary Membership for more than one
> year, or reconsider an Honorary Members term each year and therefore
> proposed to eliminate the words "....for one (1) year...." from Article 3
> (e.). The motion was unanimously approved.
>
> Prior to our meeting I sent an email to this reflector asking that we
> discuss a prorated dues structure for new, first time members who may have
> an interest DX and a desire to join ADXA mid-year or later. I did not have
> a specific proposal, it was just brought up for discussion. It was pointed
> out at the meeting that the President (me) should maybe read the Articles
> of Association more frequently :-)) as such a provision already exists in
> the last sentence of Article 5! It was clarified that this prorated
> membership fee would be $6 per quarter.
>
> Thanks again for everyone attending. It was very good to see each of and
> and I look forward to our 2nd Quarter Meeting in June in the Fort Smith
> area.
