Locked Nominating of Officers
Joe Bruno
At this point in time, we have only the president, treasurer, secretary (I
think) who will stay on in their positions. The committee chairs are not elected but I think they are all on board continuing their duties. David Finnel N7LRY, Paul Guido N5IUT, Bill Craft KD2HIQ and I will continue our duties. It should be noted that Bill Craft does the membership AND is our Webmaster. It should also be noted the Paul Guido will not only be keeping an eye on our books, but he also is responsible for reporting our Field Day results to ARRL. Harold Fleischer, AE5AS does the newsletter and is also responsible for keeping us on an even keel. I myself appreciate everything he ( the Colonel ) does for our club. Now David Finnel N7LRY has the task of getting us more HAMs. An ardent task at best. There are other individuals behind the scenes that carry a load not to be overlooked, so a big thanks to them also. We have a select group of individuals that fill what started out to be part of the 80/20, then the 90/10 and has now turned into STP, Same Ten People. It should be noted that those Same Ten People could really use some help. Please join in on the fun and become an elected official for one of the finest HAM Radio clubs in the city, county, state, hell the whole world! Now the vice president position is open. Gary (Mike) Harrison, KB5KST stepped up and did a marvelous job as our Vice President when it was needed. A big thanks to him and it should be known that he has big shoes to fill. I just hope that doesn't scare anyone off. As a club, we should all thank him for doing the wonderful job that he did. The duties of the Vice President are just about the same as any VP. He or She would be responsible to take over in the event the President is absent. The big difference is that they are responsible for getting us our speakers. If required to make the meeting room prepared and then presentable at the end to keep us in good standing with the location manager. And at one point in time our meeting locations. That duty appears to be solved. We are getting close to the end of our time to fill this position., and we need a volunteer to help. Please, Please stand up and be counted. If nothing else we might need to seek an individual to do this. I'm hoping that will not be necessary and someone will volunteer to run. I'm not out of line when I say that being an officer in this club is just like getting your license, there is no age requirement just a willingness to serve. FYI: I have already been working on field day for 2020. I learned this while helping to set up and tear down for the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, again as a volunteer and I did this for years. We started to get ready every year around December. After doing it this way for two years I told them what we really need to do is put the rodeo to bed. Wait a couple of months and then start planning the next one. That way we would have our planning and any construction done by February in time for the Rodeo. That turned out much better for all concerned. It appears we need to move our nominating process back a little. Joe Bruno W5AUQ 210-363-9500 |

Filling an officer role does not mean that you are required to do the job alone. Being an officer simply means that you are responsible for ensuring that the job gets done. As an officer, you are allowed — indeed, encouraged — to ask other members of the club to help you fulfill your duties.

When will the new Officers take office? I might be able to serve as VP. As I understand, the major role of VP is locating speakers for meetings. I would like to see the educational of our meetings to move a bit quicker. Maybe even a topic that spans several meetings.

Yes, just had a discussion about that with Harold just a few minutes ago. There are all kinds of help doing ANYTHING to do with both the club and HAM Radio. All you need to do is ask!
