To All, I will once again step in here...
Mr Ackerman, as of last HamFest, I tried to work with you to resolve issues. I tried to take care of issues and all you wanted is for a member to be removed. If this is the case, once again, let's make this a level playing field and address non action during Winter Field day. Should we remove all members that have faults? Let's even talk about Summer Field Day... We can go 2 for 2 on those... I worked on addressing your issues and you refused to work with me or even talk to the person that was at the center of this. Also, if you goto the roster, there is a list of positions held for each person, just look up that position. And the awards they got too. Please, feel free to look it up. As for volunteering, there are people that volunteer to help and do not show. Now - I ask you, what should we do with those people? We had a full staff last year at HamFest and people did not help. Now - this year I have already asked for people to help with the Summer Field Day. As we had a VERY successful field day, I would expect people to step up. Still waiting. Also, I want to know - last HamFest, we had a member that thought he had all the answers. Instead of sticking around with the club, they threw a fit and quit. So they took their bat and ball and went home. Only issue is we have VERY strong members that stepped up and we kept the game going. As for the apologies, that is called adulting and taking responsibility. They did not just run and hide. So, as I see this so far, we have had 2 people now point out that there are people with lives and have no regard for the well being of others. Boy, I hope that we see that this applies to everyone. So again.... Someone please check the rules for the Goose and the Gander? By the way, I looked up the FCC and ARRL Organization Structures, but I still can not find the section named Saints. So I am sure there are issues there too. No one is perfect. With that, EVERYONE of the Field Day and HamFest participants, THANK YOU for your hard work and dedication. This club is not only a club, but a family of long time members. It is easy to throw stones from the outside of the house. If you have an issue, please join us and talk it out. As I pointed out before, talk to the person and if you are not satisfied, get a NEUTRAL party and see what can be done. “One of the greatest struggles of becoming an adult is figuring out what you want to do and what makes you happy. The courageous thing is to stick with it and see it through and see if you were correct.” –Kristen Stewart 73 KG5YCU - You know who I am..
