[SMCARA] Brainstorming

[Daniel Metcalf]

Good morning,

I take it by the lack of any response to this email that this is something
the club is not interested in doing.

That is Ok we'll move on to the next idea.
HAVE FUN!

Amateur Radio has something for everyone. Even if it is just peace of mind
that no matter what happens your message will get through.



> I got to thinking about this school club roundup happening next week and I
>>> know of only one school in St. Mary's County who has the equipment to at
>>> least to make something like this happen and that is Leonardtown High
>>> School with Jim (KB1YZ) at the helm. Which is awesome because he was the
>>> one that inspired me to get into radio back when I was in middle school.
>>> It
>>> just took me a while to figure out where to go to get the study material
>>> and a place to take the exam.

>>> Here is what I am considering and would appreciate some feedback on.
>>>
>>> Would the club be interested in sponsoring other schools in St. Mary's
>>> County including Elementary Schools inviting grades 3 - 5 to participate.
>>> This sponsorship would include classes and exams to get those interested
>>> licensed. If enough interest is shown (at least 4 students) we would then
>>> head up school club meetings. I am sure we can round up donations for
>>> gear
>>> to setup a club station at the sponsored schools.

>>> Now I know this is going to take some work and we might have to jump
>>> through some hoops but I think it would be worth while to do it.
>>>
>>> Any ideas where we can start? I am partial to Oakville that is where I
>>> went
>>> as a kid and now my kids go there. If enough interest is shown should
>>> we sponsor more than one at a time.
>>>
>>> Thoughts?
