As I noted earlier,  our current trustee/officer pool covers most all of 
the chapters of PVRC  - with leaders from northern Maryland, western 
Maryland, the central  area, West Virginia, central Virginia, and North 
Carolina.

As to  SMC, SMC burned out from SS owing to year after year of being 
hammered  to carry the torch for the club; NCCC seems to have had the 
same issue,  although part of SMC's issue was also rooted in some 
personality  clashes.

As far as PVRC goes, we are currently:
1) dealing with  the current cash crunch (quite successfully),
2) changing how we  distribute our newsletter,
3) issuing a newsletter every month (except  for summer),
4) working towards a real budget for FY 2013-14,
5)  expanding our 5M program to give a greater sense of accomplishment,
6)  having a MAJOR July club event with the IARU HF contest, and
7) creating  an on-the-air net that meets  monthly.
