[NLRS] Some NLRS club business

Tue, 25 Feb 2003 08:40:22 -0600

Hi Jon,
Hmmm.  I think the scope you're suggesting is a bit more than suggested.  At
least what _I_ had thought.  NOT wrong... just a wider in scope.  

>From Rusty's comment, I thought it was the kind of thing that has been
tossed around in the Microwave reflector re: rovers, and portable operation
when the local constabulary stops by and want's to run you in.  Locally, we
get talked to almost every year in Mounds Park, and I know others have been
"interviewed" also, especially since 9/11.  

When I was more active Roving, citizens would call in suspicious activity,
and the police came by and ALWAYS stopped.  After I started putting the
"Amateur Radio Communications" signs on the min-van, they stopped
stopping... they'd slow down, wave, and go away.

As to volunteering, I think Rusty and Lenny (?) are up on it, but I'll help
them out if I can.

Hi Donn.

Regarding  what would we want to put into the handout, good question.

I would suggest that Step one would be to find a group who are interested
in working on putting together the proposal.    Once a group is
established, then Step two may be to identify who the target audience would
be ..... my thoughts that spring to mind include local government (ie;
police, fire, city council members, planners, etc), VHF newbies, and the
Press.   Step three is to design the brochure then Step four is to consider
total cost .... there are some trade-offs between cost and design.

Because we are all (on average) a bunch of technocrats, we all like to jump
to Step three because that is where the fun is.    I'm still interested in
Step one ..... are you volunteering ?

Depending on how "fancy" we get, it doesn't have to be THAT expensive.  I
recently got 700 double sided B&W copies and it was about $35.

A one sheet tri-fold handout can pack a lot of info if you use 9 or 10pt
fonts, and are careful about layout.  On the other hand, we could use lots
of graphics and 12pt type and fill up a tri-fold with not too much
material.

What would we want to put into the handout ?

   If we move forward with a brochure, I believe that it needs to live
within the guidelines and principles that are stated in our preamble and
which governs and defines our club.   Towards that end, I am open to any
proposal that would include costs.  What I would be looking for is a
product champion and a proposal.   If costs becomes "significant" then we
need to bring this before the club members for a vote ..... our business
meeting at Aurora'03 would be an opportunity.
