Oh, my goodness..
This is the same nonsense I replied to a month ago, and it has started AGAIN! All because of a dislike of Mike Hardwick and a $3 frickin PATCH. For real, if you want a THANK YOU FROM BVARC patch, I will make up a bunch of them on my Ricoma and send you one. There are bigger issues in life than being pissed for lack of recognition for volunteering. I AM a member of the club. A LIFE member, in fact. I would like to make a motion, through whatever mechanism is open to me, that the email reflector only be open to current, dues-paying members. SECOND? I understand you want to keep an open forum. That is all well and good. Keep it for the actual membership. Non-members should not be allowed to stir up crap like this on a personal level and make the whole club look bad to the public! Seriously, don't you folks see that? Bottom line: Mike ran, he won. You folks did not. You rage quit. You all sound like bitter Dem's after Trump won the election. This is truly embarrassing. Sorry, Anthony. You know I love ya' (and your better half) to death.. I would mobilize all my personal EMCOMM resources to assist you if needed. But for G_d's sake, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, let this go, brother. Same to the rest of the non-member's with all the angst an bitterness.

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. How is this okay?! ________________________________________________ Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club BVARC mailing list [email protected] <mailto:BVARC%40bvarc.org> http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Publicly available archives are available here: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ________________________________________________ Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club BVARC mailing list [email protected] <mailto:BVARC%40bvarc.org> http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Publicly available archives are available here: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
