[QCWA] Re: QCWA Digest, Vol 51, Issue 14

Well folks, it’s all down to “boys and girls for bucks.” 
   
I proposed over two years ago to sponsor and “associate chapter” and we as “Mentors” or “Elmers” would begin to create a pool or resource of future QCWA members for the next generation.  But, all H#$L broke out!!  Members were going to quit the Chapter and just become members at large.  They wanted nothing to do with the idea.  So now someone else has come up with the idea, and the ball in their court.  

Why not utilize the concept: the time you were a CB’er, or had a relative that was CB’er or a ham; or if you knew a CB’er or ham; or maybe you were a short wave listener at one time?  Maybe you were a commercial op in the military or in the private service?  Could we count your intentions if you were a Boy or Girl Scout?  Are we going to water down the entry requirements to QCWA to the point that a brand new “extra light ham,” who cannot put batteries in a flash light, but has a Visa Gold Card, is eligible for membership?  

Sorry Gang, QCWA means 25 years – and no less!  I truly believe we should create, implement, and allow for an “Associate Membership” for all of the family members and those Hams as a future resource.  This would be a good marketing tool as well, but to lessen the entry requirements – no way!!!
