Message From The President's
Desk:
It's hard to believe this is my last
President's Desk message! It seems like I just started my turn as
the Big Cheese, but here we are two years later and it has been a
tremendous experience. A lot has happened over the past couple of
years. We had serious discussions about restarting a hamfest in the
Vero Beach area, we tried our luck at Winter Field Day, brought
aboard a new Public Information Officer and Club Events Coordinator,
and even garnered a few new members. There was a lot more, but these
were the first to come to mind as I write this. From what I've
observed and the feedback I've received I think the Club is
continuing to move in the right direction.
At
the risk of sounding like a Grammy Award winner, I do want to say
"Thank You" to many people. First and foremost to those VBARC
members who always step up to the plate when there is work to be
done. Whether it's ironing out Club issues, helping a fellow ham fix
a radio or string a dipole, or any of a myriad of things that need
doing, we have some of the best and brightest right here in good ol'
V.B. FLA. I know if I start naming names I'll forget someone, but if
you've lent a hand to the club or a member in some way this
year, then I'm saying thanks to YOU! I also want to thank Willie,
KB5FKG, for his service as Vice President during the past two years,
as well as Mark, W4POZ, who keeps the numbers well crunched and the
treasury chest secured, and Richard, AB4AZ, who has faithfully kept
the Club's records and minutes for the past 100 (or so)
years. You guys have done an awesome job. I also want to thank
Craig, K4CPJ, for volunteering as the Club's PIO, and Pat, KJ4WMU,
for volunteering to be our Club Events Coordinator.
Lastly I want to congratulate the incoming President, Mark
W3LZK, who is certainly no stranger to the job, and Vice President,
Eric KF4UJO, who also has held the VP position before, in addition
to our returning Secretary, Richard AB4AZ, and Treasurer, Mark
W4POZ. I feel that with such proven leadership, 2012 will be a
banner year for VBARC and ham radio in Indian River
County!
73, Vince K4JC
