[Qcwa] Interest/?

[Bob Peters]

Hi Skip and all...I am a member of  two  chapters  chapter 41 and 
207...I  really  enjoy  our  QCWA meetings  for a number of reasons...
We  have great programs  every month....We  eat  together and 
tell  stories  together...We  help  each  other when a need 
comes  up  for  help...
We are  hosting the National QCWA  Convention  this  year  the 
whole  group  will come  together and help...With  Chapter 207  we  are a 
special interest  Boatanchor Group  that loves AM  or as we call  it Angle 
Music...People  all  over the  South seek  us out  for membership...
We  have 2 formal meetings a year  and do a special event  AM  station on 
the air  at the  HAMCOM  here in Dallas....

But  the most important  point in my  book is all  the kids that are 
helped  through  the QCWA Scholarship  program   ....That is the winner 
that makes  me smile...But  the all  important  in both  chapters is  that 
we eat...Yes  sir  When in Dallas  on the first 
Saturday  join  us  for  lunch!!!!
