W.A.R.C. BOARD POLICIES

5/29/1996 Roger, KDØAY, motioned that club equipment may be used for officially declared emergencies, for board approved activities and board approved circumstances. If the board cannot all be reached, two (2) officers can make this decision in case of emergencies. Kurtis, NØUGJ, seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

8/25/1996 It was discussed and decided that a membership secretary is needed to help the treasurer. The duties will be to keep a complete roster of all members, addresses, phones numbers, call sign changes and dues updates.

5/5/1997 A motion was made by Roger, KDØAY to turn down the request made by Sherry, KBØSQQ to send out letters to the different “disease” associations informing them of our availability to work their events. This could spread us too thin with what activities we already do. All activities planned in the name of W.A.R.C. need to be brought before the board for prior approval. Barb, KBØVHI seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously. (See 5/4/1998 for further discussion.)

1/5/1998 Roger, KDØAY moved that all net controls on W.A.R.C sponsored nets (including swap net and Q&A net) must be members in good standing of W.A.R.C. All others conducting nets on the club repeaters should request permission of the board of directors before conducting nets (ARES, YL's, QCWA, etc). Lynn, KGØWA seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

1/5/1998 The board of directors decided that it was not appropriate for W.A.R.C. to send sympathy cards to the families of any deceased ham. This could cause problems if someone was missed. Individuals should do this on their own, everyone agreed.

2/23/1998 A motion was made by Rich, NØRUL to deny permission to have code practice on the repeaters during morning drive times. This could interfere with people driving to work and possibly needing help. Roger, KDØAY seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.

5/4/1998 The extracurricular chairman shall keep a calendar of all planned club activities. People need to talk to him about scheduling dates for activities. He does not make the decision as to who is in charge of the activities. This decision falls on the board of directors. (See 5/5/1997 for further discussion.)

8/3/1998 The club president requests (strongly) that none of the board discuss with anyone (i.e. Red Cross) about anything (problems) concerning the club before it is first discussed with other board members.

10/5/1998 Roger, KDØAY motioned that the Ham of the Year shall be chosen by the vice-president, the senior director and one club member at large. Ron, NØYRP seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. (See 1/10/1999 for further action.)

1/10/1999 The club president stated that the Ham of the Year committee should be selected in January so they know who they are and that they have a year to come up with this outstanding amateur. (See 10/5/1998 for committee.)
