[Larry McCalvy]

Doug,

I did receive your email a week ago. But did not have an immediate solution 
for Chapter 5's problems. I could have hit reply and said I received your 
email, but you knew I did because your email did not bounce back from my 
server.

I had a malware virus infection that took two-days to isolate and eliminate 
making me two-days late on the journal deadline.

Your chapter's issue are one of the reasons our President Bob Roske formed 
the Publicity, Public Relations and Lost Member's Committee.

We are here to help you, your chapter and its membership.

In answer to your question; "How do I get a list of ...QCWA Hams...within a 
30 mile radius of Philadelphia"

Submit a list of the zip codes that you would like list of the QCWA members 
that live within to the General Manager.
But don't expect an over night answer. It takes time to generate a list and 
it is between other required tasks that need timely completions.

I have several questions for you; that based on your answers will assist the 
Publicity, Public Relations and Lost Members Committee in helping to solve 
the negative issues impacting on Chapter 5.

1.  Are there any QCWA members in your area willing to work with you on 
reviving Chapter 5?

2.  At the Ham clubs in your area that you gave talks at - were there any 
QCWA members or QCWA eligible for membership in the audience?

3. Other than age why are the current and past Chapter members unwilling to 
meet even for lunch? Everyone has to eat and I have yet to find a Ham 
unwilling to meet with another to talk Ham Radio over a cup of coffee. It is 
usually other fixable reasons they no longer want to gather with fellow 
Hams.

4. Survey all the QCWA members and those eligible for membership via the 
telephone - one on one. Ask them if they would consider joining or 
re-joining Chapter 5. Ask them directly, What would it take for you to join 
or rejoin Chapter 5. And then ask their reasons for the answers they gave 
you.

5. The task is not always an easy one, but one that often needs to be taken 
if you expect to reap any rewards from your labor.

6. The more folks you have working on these goals the easier it is to 
accomplish them.

7.  Remember, you need to take and display a positive attitude while working 
the phones.

8. If you keep an up beat approach to recruiting chapter members you should 
be successful. Make a list of real reasons those folks licensed 25-years 
should be a member of Chapter 5.

9. Eliminate any negativism in your recruiting. Nothing kills your effect 
faster than displaying your negative feeling.

And Lastly, just because you do not receive a reply to an inquiry in the 
time you think you should have one, does not mean you are being ignored.


As I said earlier, our committee is willing to work with you and your 
chapter, but you have to work with us also.

I would be most happy to discuss any of these suggestions or any other 
aspects that you feel are impacting on Chapter 5.

I can be reached at 262-639-7327 if you prefer to discuss these on the 
telephone rather than by email

73,

Larry McCalvy, WA9JMO
Chairman, QCWA Publicity, Public relations and Lost Member Committee.
