John,
Thank you for the response.
Regarding Zoom, yes, there are many people that don't do Zoom. That's the
beauty of amateur radio that there are many facits of the hobby and many ways
of achieving the same objective. Be advised that Zoom has apparently evolved
in some instances to be a form Social Media but primarily remains simply an
electronic way of having meetings for people that can't realistically meet at
the same location and time. Fortune 500 companies use it literally thousands
of times a day. Many of those companies ban traditionally Social Media sites
such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. on their networks.
Regarding using Zoom or the meetings as an only channel of recruitment of
volunteers, I made it clear that tonight's Zoom meeting is not a recruiting
session.
Volunteers are not "denied the opportunity" to participate in that members and
others are recruited mostly one-on-one, as I had done with you and others to
assist at the Equipment Check Table. Other opportunities and ways are in
groups, discussions at personal encounters, at events, nets, general repeater
chit-chat and of course for those that wish to initiate action, there is a lot
at the Hamfest Website itself which has a special page dedicated to Volunteers.
Even that is not enough however, so any other suggestions are always welcome.
I look forward to seeing you again at a Wednesday Lunch Bunch, Saturday Morning
Breakfast, hopefully the banquet, at the February General Membership Meeting
and of course at the Hamfest.
Tnx es 73de John, K5IZO

I don't do Zoom. There may be others that don't, also.
Please consider that there may be volunteers denied the opportunity if social
media is the only channel to recruitment.

As per precedent, because of the banquet, there will be no General Membership
Meeting this month (would have been tonight). Therefore, how about
participating in the Hamfest Zoom meeting tonight. No, it's not a recruiting
session, but any volunteers will be heard. Since you received this e-mail, you
are on the BVARC Reflector, so you received the Zoom invite last Thursday,
January 5.
Tnx, es 73de John, K5IZO
