[QCWA] Membership Numbers

[Dave - VE3JX]

Greetings all,

Below, you will find a tabulation of membership numbers as of June 30th, in both 
2008 and 2009.  The numbers come from the membership rosters as of those dates.

The figures show a modest decrease of 117 members overall.  The US had a 
decrease of 136, while there was an increase of 19 international members.  In 
that, Canada had an increase of 13, and Germany was up by 5.  Sri Lanka doubled 
their members, going from unity to 2.  Switzerland also added a member.

In the US, the decrease was across the board in all call areas, though area 9 
lost only one member.

Hopefully, these hard statistics will give all of us the incentive to recruit as 
best we can.

Best wishes to all our members everywhere.

Cheers,
