[FARC] Revenue Ideas

[Kirk Talbott]

Raise the club dues to $30 a year.  Roughly 60 members, that ought to raise a little revenue or at the very least a ruckus.   That's our $1000 scholarship money right there.   To those of us whom have already paid for 2009 we owe an additional $20.  $30 bucks a year!  That's not even an hour's expenditure at Timonium Hamfest or a year's worth of PL-259 connectors for an active Ham.  

Change the FARC sponsored dinners at holiday time to an everybody bring a dish dinner at the club firehall or hold the same type of deal as a picnic in the summer at one of the local parks.   Plan some type of ham radio activity for the picnic day; build an antenna, mini-field day, fox hunt, etc..  Admission fee, $X.00 per member to pay for the rental on a park picnic pavilion.  

K3ERM repeater.  Solicit donations from the club members, other local clubs ask for donations from their members to maintain repeaters.   Whatever monies not used for repeater maintenance goes into the club treasury.

Tower trailer is an FARC asset.  Many groups and organizations within the area and without use it for various functions, so much so nobody knows where it is half the time.  Rent it out, $XX.00 a day.  

Nobody's going to elect me president of this club, no sir !
