[QCWA Hotlist] A New Year - Members Qualifying For QCWA Awards

[ve6afo at telus.net]

January 2, 2019

We have now turned the calendar to a new year. Many of our members 
will qualify for anniversary awards, beginning with 50 years as a 
licensed Amateur Radio operator.

Now would be a good time to check your chapter membership records to 
see which of your chapter members qualify for an award.

This is very easy to do. Just log in to the Members Only Webpage and 
under "Officer's Section", (then on the left side menu) click on to 
"Member Awards".

Once you have done this, you will find a few options. The option you 
want to use is the one outlined below;

To create chapter member digital awards for 50, 55, 60 or 65 year 
Anniversaries view details here

After clicking on to "view details here", you will be taken to the 
below message.

After the webpage opens, change the members name if necessary, and 
click on one of the buttons to generate that award for the selected 
member. The web server (www.qcwa.org) will create the award as a PDF 
file and open it in Adobe on your computer. You can save a copy to 
your computer and/or print a copy. Photo paper works well as do many 
of the colored, wood grain or antiqued papers that are available in 
many hobby and scrapbook stores.
To create the awards click 
<http://www.qcwa.org/members/awards-chapter-generate.php?chapter=151&OeMail=ve6afo@telus.net>here.

On the right side this shows all of the chapter member's awards, 
which they have received, along with the issue date, and all the 
awards that each chapter member qualifies for this year, and have yet 
to be issued. Note: Some members may have already downloaded and 
printed their awards. If this is the case, you may wish to ask them 
to bring to the next meeting for presentation in front of their peers.

Just follow the instructions, and then download and print for your 
members for presentation at your next Chapter meeting. Your chapter 
may wish to spend a few dollars for a nice inexpensive frame, or 
maybe just a simple presentation folder, which also looks nice.

If the award is of great significance, i.e a 75 year or more award, 
the chapter just may wish to spend a little more money on a plaque 
for the honored QCWA Chapter Member.

Happy New Year to all!

73,
Ken Oelke, VE6AFO
President, Quarter Century Wireless Association, Inc.
