Dear friends, It is heartening to see the club get off to an earlier that usual start in planning for the hamfest, and of course the expected calls for ideas and actual real volunteers. Finding reliable volunteers is always a problem because most of us already have full plates, with work, family, etc.
So here's an old idea, submitted for yet another round of retorts that resurface every time someone makes a suggestion --"But we've already tried that." I suggest we offer to partner with the other clubs in the metro to help make it a true "Greater Houston Hamfest." It does work when applied to Field Day. Why not try again to apply it to the hamfest? Net income from the event might be divided according to a formula that reflects two factors -- each club's membership headcount, and each club's actual participation (expressed in numbers of participating volunteers). Such a system would give all clubs a stake in the success of the event. I'm now feeling verklempt, so this is your chance to discuss among yourselves. Or not. 73, JP, K5JPP
