With me, the problem is DISTANCE and not being able to DRIVE, otherwise
I'd love to attend if not for recovering from "SHINGLES", this after
having taken the SHINGLIX Vaccine over a year ago & having had Chicken
Pox in "1946" ..... ( The Pharmacist said the vaccine had a 97% Efficacy
rate, guess I'm in the 3% that the vaccine doesn't work on... )

I thought I would send out an update on the food ticket purchase for
the BVARC Annual Awards Banquet - it has been disappointing to say the
least. Less than 10% of the members have purchased meals.
If you are not aware on what the BVARC Annual Awards Banquet is, it is
an event for club members to meet, eat dinner and honor other members
of the club that have worked hard supporting the club and the amateur
radio hobby. With the low sales of meals and the non-existent
nominations (barely 1.5% of the club membership has made nominations)
it appears the bulk of the membership no longer wants to honor those
members. This is an unfortunate direction for an event that shows
appreciation to our outstanding members.
I have talked to the caterer, and she said she can work with a later
deadline, *so the final drop-dead day has now been moved to Sunday,
January 7*^*th* *. *If you have any thoughts about attending, please
purchase your meal tickets now. Even if you are not attending, please
make your nominations for the awards.
If you are not aware of the awards and what they are for, below is a
list of the awards and what they are for.
*The Loop and Zepp Award*- This award is presented to the club member
that has exhibited outstanding service in HF operation and use.
*The K1JT Award* - This award is presented to the club member that
have exhibited outstanding service in VHF and above operation and use.
*The Dr Bill Award* - This award is presented to the club member that
has exhibited outstanding service as a Volunteer Examiner.
*The Order of the Key Award* - The club’s highest award. This award is
presented to the one club member that has exhibited outstanding
service for the club and amateur radio.
Recommendations can also be made for Presidential awards, Appreciation
awards or any other recommendation for outstanding service by a club
member. For award nominations, please send an e-mail to n5...@att.net
with your recommendations. */All nominations must now be in no later
than Sunday, January 7th./*
Remember, the various operating events the club has is only one
function of the club. The annual awards banquet is the time to honor
club members that have worked hard supporting the club and the amateur
radio service. So, even if you cannot make the banquet, send in your
awards nomination.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
