[TVARC] [thevillagesarc] Re: club station

Mon Jul 17 13:17:36 EDT 2017

Hi Earle,

Once again, plowing up snakes, I'm good at that.

One thing I would like for you to do at this Club meeting is to appoint a
couple of folks who would actually* work with me* toward formulating the
game plan to make this club station thing a reality.

A lot of folks say "you should do this" and "you should do that," but never
lift a finger to actually help with the process..

When you appoint these people, please emphasize that we will ACTIVELY have
to meet and work and not just be named to a committee and do nothing.

See you 2nite,
73,
J
