[HCRA] White elephant swap Friday

[k1jaw at usa.com]

?Your HCRA is sponsoring a "White Elephant Swap" before the next meeting?on April 2nd.? What is a "White Elephant Swap" you say? . . Well, we all have "stuff" that is too valuable to throw away, and too valueless to sell and so it just collects dust taking up valuable?space in our shack.? So, we (your board of directors) thought it might be nice to move some "stuff" around to where it?could?get some use.? It is easy.? You bring some "stuff" that you would like to see someone get some use out of; and look to see if there might be something that you might need or want.? And, do not feel obligated?to take something because you brought something that someone needed.? Just feel good!
?
The club will have a donation box for anyone who takes something, or if you just want to support the club anonymously. If you feel that you want to put a value on your item, please do so but it is solely at your descretion.?Donations will be on?the honor system.
?
If no one wants an item by the time the raffle prize is drawn, the club will?select some?"stuff"?for the following meeting. This "stuff"?will be added to the "stuff" that might be brought in May.? Kinda like a second chance for the misfit "stuff".? The remaining "stuff", we will ask that you bring home with you.? 
?
Here?is some?"stuff" that I will be bringing:? ARRL Low Power Communications book in new condition,?a baggie of hookup wire and slide switches, a good micrometer that I never use, a mag mount antenna if I can find all of the pieces,? and I have not begun to look around yet.? (No, my K1 will not be showing up - haha).? I do know that others will also be bringing "stuff",? but I am not going to let you know everything; you'll just have to come and see.? This is not the venue to sell your expensive "stuff"; hold onto?that "stuff"?for the tailgate party in June.? This "White Elephant Swap" is to share with others,? make a few sheckles for the club, and have some fun.? Who knows? Your pile of "stuff" may turn into a pile of gold when you find that something that you have been looking for or need? ..? Look forward to seeing you on April 2nd!?
