[RVRC] Ballot for membership, K2EEI

Tue Aug 19 13:23:27 EDT 2014

And this is an example of why RVRC is losing members and hardly gaining new ones, all this political quibbling and undermining each other all the time, spending money you don't have and not wanting to put effort into additional fundraising that I have been pushing for in the past. Who really wants to sit at meetings and listen to such counterproductive infighting and backstabbing? I even am considering not renewing my membership next January for reasons such as this among personal situations.  So please keep acting the way you all are and soon this club will just fold into nothing.

 RVRC MEMBERS;

 To begin with I wish to express my strong approval for new
 memberships. 
  .
 Bringing new members is always a good foundation to operate
 an amateur radio club.  But in this case, the procedure
 is wrong.  (1) It is wrong on two counts; the RVRC
 Constitution and by-laws specifically spell out the
 requirement for two readings of the application.  The
 purpose of this specification is to make the membership
 familiar with the candidate.  It has always been the
 RESPONSIBILITY of the SPONSORS to make their candidate(s)
 known to the membership campaign and prove the candidates
 qualification and suitability. (2) Then it is also important
 for the candidate to attend those two readings so the
 membership can become familiar with that candidate for whom
 the sponsors are asking for membership acceptance and it
 demonstrates a strong desire from the candidate to be an
 active member!
 .
 The summary discharge and ignorance of the rules are
 unacceptable!  What 'rules' will be next to be
 violated?  The officers can not make such a
 determination as to what 'rules' will be ignored or
 violated.  If it is the determination of the majority
 of voting members to suspend a rule....a vote must be
 taken.
 . 
  I object to this behavior of ignoring the Constitution and
 By-Laws; if we don't like a rule, change it first.
 .
 This candidate, Lee, K2EEI, sounds like he would make a
 solid and valuable member.........but who knows?  The
 sponsors are responsible to present their candidate to the
 membership and the membership must have the opportunity to
 know who it is they're voting for membership.
 .
 If it is the desire of a voting member (full member) to
 change our Constitution and/or By-Laws and eliminate such
 requirements......then it must be submitted as such to the
 membership, at a meeting, then the membership has an
 opportunity to decide by VOTE!

 This issue is not a 'simple' issue. This is a major issue
 and violation of our rules.
