[QCWA] 2010 Membership

[Dave - VE3JX]

Hi Joe,

Thank you for your input.  As far as membership goes, I did not find you in the 
online roster.  So, you are likely not a member at this time.

"What's in it for me?"  I guess to a certain degree, you get out of it what you 
put into it.

However, I really want to answer your last question:  "What does being a member 
of this group offer someone to want to be a member?"

A fair question, that I'd like to answer with other questions:

Do you want to be informed of upcoming events in various chapters, or 
internationally?

Do you want to be informed of pending changes to QCWA National that may affect 
you?

Do you want to be able to contribute to timely discussions as this one has 
proved to be?

Do you want to have your say about problems or changes or improvements WRT QCWA?

Do you want a forum where the Board of Directors are listeners and participants, 
where you can catch their attention?

Do you want a forum where exciting new ideas can be exhaustively shared and 
discussed with other like members?

And, do you want all this to be free from expense to you?

If the answer is "yes", you want to be a member of this QCWA Reflector group. 
To make it even more valuable, you will want to invite all your fellow members 
to join it as well.

And, you will want to renew your membership to make sure that you are taken 
seriously.  We need you as an active QCWA member.  IMHO anyway.

Have a great day Joe.

Cheers,

Dave VE3JX
