[FARReps] Round Three for NOVA Clubs re: Meeting with Virginia League SM

[Alan Bosch]

Gentlemen:

 

It has been a month since I last wrote about this meeting effort, and I have
had responses from 5 of the 14 clubs in the list.  The most preferred date
is 9/23 (4), with 10/7 (3) as runner-up.

 

But this response rate leaves some 2/3 of the clubs I could find unaccounted
for - and we really do need more attendance to make things productive.

 

Note that the date list has changed slightly: we now have have 9/23, 10/7,
and 10/14 open.  At this point in time, I would suggest focusing on October.

 

Kindly respond to me ASAP.  I plan to be on vacation from 9/9-16 and would
like to have responses back before then.

 

Thank you.

Greetings, All:

 

I am writing again - with a much better list of clubs -- in an effort to
help VA Assistant Section Manager Woody Thompson arrange a meeting so he and
our new SM Glen Sage can meet and talk with NoVA ham club representatives
and members.  

 

The focus will be on the spectrum of League activities -- not just ARES
matters - and this meeting is for non-ARRL clubs as well. 

 

Given the travel involved for Glen and Woody, it seems sensible to gather on
a Saturday.  According to current their current meeting sked, the best
Saturdays are: 8/28, 9/23, and 10/7+14.  But Friday 10/20 will also work.

 

So kindly reply to me, picking your top 3 of those in priority order, with
an eye to interesting club members as well as officers.  

 

And if any of your clubs will actually meet on one of those days, please let
me know.  That might handily answer the question of where to gather.

 

Thanks in advance for your help in making this a productive gathering, and
letting me know at your earliest convenience so we can keep the ball
rolling.
