Ah. Mystery solved, I suppose. I couldn't remember who originally encouraged me to run so I was going to be hard-put to substantiate telling anyone. I did make three transmissions to Bill stating the same thing not five minutes later as he wound his way to the meeting. I’m pretty certain I identified during that time, but I think we can agree that my “voice” is unique, at least on Amateur Radio. Odd that Bill never acknowledged.
I already said by implication that I have nothing against Scott, I’m sure he’ll do fine. I do believe though that the DX’ers and contesters had adequate representation on the BoD before the election. I’m not so sanguine that rag-chewers like myself could say the same thing. That’s really why I decided to run. To be very clear, DX’ing and contesting are perfectly valid aspects of Amateur Radio, and we already have a “fraternity” to nuture those activity. I certainly welcome them into BVARC as well, but I think clubs like BVARC need to maintain a broader appeal. Someone within the last few days has advocated on 34/94 that “maker” type projects are needed to attract kids. Maybe. I’m certainly not going to build hardware, but software might well be another matter! In any case, the point is that no one or two interests can dominate a general-interest club like BVARC. My joke regarding merging TXDS and BVARC was meant to be a reminder of that (and I hope I have resolved any confusion, Willie).

I talked to Scott on the way to the meeting and during the conversation Scott mentioned he would like to run for the 2 yr position. I said I would mention it at the meeting. When I got there I got tied up in the set up of the Chili Dinner and it slipped my mind. I appoligize to you Scott and If at all possible Bill could we add Scott's name to the 2 yr at large list? If that is not possible as per the rules then I apologize to you Scott. Yes there are some people in both clubs that are on both BOD's. But that does not mean we should join the clubs at the hip. TDXS is a specialty club and those that belong to it have a very specific interest while BVARC has many general interests with in the Club. Some of the members of both Clubs are interested in things that both Clubs do and have a right to join both. I am a member of ECHO, BVARC, PECG, ARES, and RACES but that does not mean that all those clubs should be one. Again Scott I am very Sorry that your request slipped my mind.

Per the nomination list Rick a past BVARC Prez headed up the position of Election Chairman and did a great job as has been done in the past for creation of the list. The candidates were chosen from that list and also opportunity was given for nominations from the floor at the general meeting. NO floor nominations were given or relayed. Notice as per Bylaws was given in the timely manor of the elections and procedure with instructions given in our newsletter, email reflector and HF/VHF Nets. No written notice was received by me of your nomination request as any that would be sent to me would forward to the Election Chairman. BVARC would have been delighted to add you to the ballot if we had notice of your intent.

Oh well, Scott will do just as well. Perhaps we should merge BVARC and TXDS and have done with it.

A list of those who wished to serve was presented to membership with NO nominations from the floor. A poll was taken of the membership at the meeting and All present approved the list of candidates to be voted by your Board of Directors for appointment to fill the 2015-2016 positions. As one BOD member was absent from the meeting this will be done at the December BOD meeting. As we know some had disruption of their plan to attend the meeting. Life happens and we understand. I wish to thank ALL BVARC members that came out to vote. We missed the Quorum by 12 members. Chili cook off was fantastic fixings. Thanks to those who brought out a great chili to serve up. The list of candidates is as follows for BOD appointment…. 73 Bill WS5H VP: Mike Hardwick – N5VCX CS: Michael Monsour – AC0TX Treasurer: - Bob Tomlinson – N5JSL / Stephanie Vessley – K5SFV 2 Year at Large: Scott Medbury – KD5FBA 1 Year at Large: Darrell Kirk – KC5JAR / Jo Keener – KE7NSB _____ _______________________________________________ BVARC mailing list <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org> http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org _____ No virus found in this message.
