MY post isnt political and has nothing to do with elections, my concern was
the appearance of the website...
I wasnt mudslinging, I didnt even mention anyones name..I didnt see anyone
mentioning names till you mentioned Mikes....
You (Anthony) mentioned our president about 3 times.. (that is mud slinging)
Why did you drop from the board when there is only a couple of months lefton
your board of directors term... Your my buddy, I would do anything for youbut
I am calling you a cry baby.. probably related to Kori running against Mike.
I guess your buddy Kori is running against Mike for president this term..
Mike has been a pretty damn good president for a very long time, he hasalways
been there for our club when no one else has been.. When no one elsewill,
Mikey is always there.. Club is huge, money in the bank, food at
meetings,amazing hamfest, thank you Mike !!!!
Time for a change? Sure, Maybe!
Kori is very energetic and very popular in the club.. He is a pretty smart
guy.and would likely make a good president .. Will he be willing to put as
much intoBVARC as Mike does..??
Time will tell.
Eddie (NU5K)it is our club, speak your mind..

I have been thinking all day about this. I think this is a way of throwing mud
during the elections. This is not fair to either side. So everyone knows I have
left the board for this very sort of stuff. I think this club needs to stop
being divided and think about what's best for the club. Acting like this about
an event the club president allowed to happen is not what's best for the club.
I think that we need to leave the name of the event alone and stop acting like
everybody in the club doesn't drink at all. I say this and also tell y'all
about my past. I was given probation for my third DWI. While on probation I
found a great hobby, and all of yall have been great friends to me. I know that
at least one person in the club has a few beers after work. There is nothing
wrong with that. So saying that, we should leave this topic alone and think and
look to the future of this club. If you feel the same way I feel then think
real hard about what is really going on in the club and see how we as a club
can pull together and put an end to this click kind of behavior. We should work
together, not against each other. Just like some of yall dont get up for the
6:30am breakfast or leave work to go to the Lunch Bunch do the same with this
event. If you don't have the time and would like to be with the family instead
then don't go and keep your comments about an event the club president allowed
to yourself. I am appalled with the behavior of some people that chose to act
this way. I know yall are better than this. Now let's get back to having fun in
this hobby as one of the largest clubs in texas, and show people what being a
great HAM is about. If you have any questions or comments about what I said in
this email, please email me directly. I am willing to talk to yall about how I
feel about how the club members are acting about an event that has been going
on for almost a year now. Also remember the club president allowed this event
after talking to Kori the vice president before he became vice president.
I am sorry if this sounded like I am venting. But I am just tired of all the
mud slinging in the club.

You guys are finally paying attention!! I enjoyed the BwBvarc the couple of
times I went (fellowship), even though I am not a drinker...
I complained when we started advertising it on the website as a BVARC
sanctioned event...
Being that we have always tried to put forward a welcoming face and tried to
attract youngfolks and even children and parents to our club...
No one paid any attention to me back then.
PLUS, I am sure some of our members have or have had problems with
booze....Some have had DUIs, some are recovering...!
Some of you know my son,he has been a ham (since 10 years old) and is now
43yrs.. He has been an addictfor many years.. Although I like to share with
him ham radio things, like the hamfest and so on.I would be afraid to even
mention BwBVARC to him.
I didn't go, but someone mentioned to me that the LAST BwBVARC had CBD
beerswhich were noted with warnings that they could affect the outcome of a
drug test.
Glad you guys are finally paying attention!!

Even if the club turns out to be protected from legal liability, I'm not
sure we want our club name to be associated with a possible DUI traffic
tragedy. Just a thought. JP, K5JPP

The promoted title “Brews with BVARC” leans toward making it a de facto,
sanctioned event, and this doesn't sit well with some folks. By W5RH.

Philippe,
Thank you I had no idea this was a concern for some. A few years back I was
required to be certified with TABC for the The Katy Rice Harvest Festival. I am
a Past Grand Knight and former District Deputy of the Knights of Columbus and
our council 6950 served beer for the Rice Harvest Festival. Because our council
was engaged in serving alcohol we had the responsibility to not serve patrons
past the legal limit and were trained how to spot when someone was intoxicated.
That being said, the Brews with BVARC event, although a gathering of members at
an establishment that serves alcohol, is in no way the same as our club serving
alcohol to members or the general public. I believe the club having a Brews
with BVARC event in many ways is no different than any of the other membership
gatherings; afterall it is about comradery. I have not read the clubs bylaws
but if there was something governing this sort of gathering it would be found
in the bylaws.

In the past few weeks, I heard some members talk about the legal aspect of
having events at the bar/brewery serving alcohol under the BVARC umbrella.
Because of the nature of my job, working in the restaurant/Hotel industry, I
have some contacts at TABC and ask who will be responsible if some members get
intoxicated during a club event at the restaurant or bar. TABC clarifies that
The restaurant/bar with TABC licenses that sells and serves alcohol to an
intoxicated patron is responsible.
I hope this helps.
I hope you have a great week.
