Re: [BVARC] Volunteers Needed - Greater Houston HamFest
Thanks for the reminder, I hadn’t bought mine. From: BVARC on behalf of John Chauvin via BVARC Date: Wednesday, February 28, 2024 at 08:00 To: rodney martinez , BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB Cc: John Chauvin , Rick Hiller Subject: Re: [BVARC] Volunteers Needed - Greater Houston HamFest BVARC does not want to be put into a position of judging how much volunteer time is required to get free admission: Is it 15 minutes; 2 hours; 8 hours; a 5 day work week; longer? BVARC does not "pay" members to provide their time to help BVARC. It is a "volunteer" organization. Furthermore, most of those who help drive out there anyway to attend the Hamfest. Additionally, do you expect members to be paid to operate? Go figure!
