It is also entirely possible to get a small number of plain BVARC patches made and sell them to members for $10. Counting a stamp and envelope, it’s under a $1 to mail them. I have used patches in several clubs successfully in the past. They are way better for raising bucks and promoting the club at the same time. Regards, Monty. KI5JML
