[W2CRA] Thank You!!!

[Bob Grear KA2OEE]

Hello Cherryville!
 
Once again, our membership has come together and made CRA 2013 Annual Hamfest a success.  While we do not know as yet how successful we were financially, every one of you can be congratulated for making this year's effort as good as we could make it.  My thanks to each one of you for all the hard work and time you contributed to this event.  As your president, I am proud of every member and of CRA II.  
 
We have a lot of work to do as yet to make CRA a growing concern, and I know every one of you will contribute to that success as well.  Our next event will be ARRL Field Day 2013 on June 22 & 23.  Please mark your calendars now so you can come out and help us do the setup on the evening of Friday June 21, and come on back and operate for a while sometime on Saturday and Sunday.  We always can use operators, especially at night, and take down on Sunday afternoon always goes faster with a few fresh faces.
 
One thing I would ask you to do for me between now and then is to call, e-mail, or otherwise contact one or two of your amateur radio friends who are not members and invite them to come out with you to the club meetings, Field Day, and the Lebanon July 4th Parade.  If each of us introduces just one friend to CRA, we could potentially double our membership!  You can help us grow the club, and we all know that the more members we have, the easier it is to make things really happen!  We ALL know someone who is a ham but is not a member of CRA.  All it takes is an invitation.  Let's get things started!
 
Well, that is all for now.  Let's keep the momentum going!  See you all (and your friends) at the next club meeting!

YOUR president!
