[NJARC] Term Limits

[njarc@mailman.qth.net]

John,
Adopting a passive-aggressive stance isn't helping to enlighten the NJARC 
membership to understand the concerns you have about the club's direction and its 
future. Perhaps you can help make things better by explaining some of the 
reasons why some of the members may have complaints.

For example, are members still unhappy about losing access to the Freehold 
and Hightstown locations? Both the Sarnoff and Hazlet locations seem to have 
satisfied our meeting needs. We all know these are interim facilities and that, 
ultimately, we will secure our own space at Info Age. And, when we relocate, 
would anyone like to make a bet that there will be dissenters who would rather 
stay where we are now simply because they've grown accustomed to these places?

Are members unhappy with the content of the meetings or are folks simply 
unhappy about the choice of available snacks and beverages?

Are folks unhappy about any of the tube, capacitor, or schematic programs 
that the club oversees?

At this point, I don't agree with the process by which the money changes 
hands during the auctions at the club meetings. Currently, it goes directly to the 
seller, bypassing the club, which is conducting the auction for the seller. 
This leaves the club at the mercy of the seller who can simply opt not to pay 
the club a portion of the proceeds in return for its service of running the 
auction. Instead, I propose that all money be paid directly to the club treasurer 
who will then record the dollars and pay the seller when the auction is 
complete. This simple change in procedure would prevent mishaps as occurred during 
the auction this past Friday.

Walt
