[PPRAANet] PPRAA Club Station

Thu Mar 30 22:01:22 EDT 2023

I’m going to also say, that the President, VP, and board has been great at putting out information as fast as it is coming in. This is an unprecedented situation in club history (I think). So it looks like they are doing the best they can with the bad situation we have found ourselves in.
I’m sorry I haven’t been any help in this. I just got back home late last night, and turn around and leave again for 10 days in Sunday.
Check into tonight’s 2m net. This should be a lively one.

I know Kyle has a day job that keeps him busy, yet he kept us apprised of the changing situation very quickly.

We see and appreciate your hard work and your candor, and we've got your back!" And the same to our vice president, Derek, who also took action and started researching options quickly, to help the board make informed decisions in a very short time.

>> It’s not the end of the world by any means but again, in my opinion something as drastic as this should have been followed by a statement from the elected board members as it directly affects the club and its membership.
>> 
>> Now in fairness, I understand that even while the club had a location, equipment etc., it wasn’t utilized to the extent that it should have been and folks who were at one time interested, do tend to ‘waver’ or “ disappear” (lack of interest after a while).. it’s a slippery slope .. I get that.
>> 
>> Now with that said, its just my .02$.  I still don’t mind hosting the sale at our place so that the club can get the “liquidation” squared away while it concentrates efforts on finding another suitable location etc. .
