First I will say this, I am not a member anymore. The reasons are my business and I will not air them on this reflector. The next thig I will say is that this is the best place to get you voice heard by the club, because trying to be heard in other ways just gets it swept under the rug. I would have to agree with Michael M. The issue is we (the board of 2023) voted on something and it did not get done. It is now 2025 and the volunteers for 2023 hamfest did not get the thank gift we approved. I dont see this as being disrespectful or abusive behavior. I also don't think the club should reprimand or suspend anybody in the club that is just is trying to be heard by the whole club. Again this is the best place to get that done. In no way is this an attack on leadership. It's a way to let the club help leadership fix the issue by getting their opinion on the issue.

I do not yet know very many people in this club, however after seeing this email, I would like to make a recommendation that anyone using this email service to disparage, attack or bully another person in the group, that person should be reprimanded suspended or removed from the club. There should be no tolerance for abusive behavior or disrespect within this group.

My deepest gratitude goes out to EVERY SINGLE volunteer—those of you who put in your heart and soul this year and those who have done so in the past. However, I am absolutely INFURIATED to discover that numerous volunteers (if not all) from 2023 have STILL not received their small thank you gifts from BVARC! Despite countless attempts to rectify this ridiculous oversight, they remain empty-handed. This was meant to be a straightforward gesture of appreciation, mind you, one that the board approved and entrusted to the president to execute! It’s beyond comprehension that after all the hard work and unwavering dedication these individuals displayed, they are left feeling utterly disregarded! If you haven’t received yours yet, you might be inclined to ask the president, but honestly, that will probably lead you nowhere! This entire situation is nothing short of UNACCEPTABLE! It may not seem like much, but I MUST say thank you again to those who truly showed commitment. Without your INDISPENSABLE dedication and tireless efforts, the Hamfest wouldn’t even stand a chance! Attached is a photo of the gift that was supposed to be given, already purchased with club funds.
