SBARA's Appreciation Dinner

As you know, I have been a member of the South Bay Amateur Radio Association (SBARA) for more than 3 years now, and a board member in the last 2. Going into next year, I intend to stay on and be more active in this role than I have in the past 2 years.

In my first year on the board, I was the club photographer. This year, I coordinate the mentorship program for new members of the club. Of course, there are the "other" tasks that I help out with to ensure the smooth and continuous movement within the organization. As a collective body, the board meets monthly to map out the club's activities on an ongoing basis, making sure we have guest speakers during our monthly general membership meetings, planning for and participating in the annual Field Day exercises, and growing club membership, to name a few.

Since ham radio is a hobby, and all our services are voluntary, the board proposed and approved a
resolution recognizing the time, energy, and resources each board member shares for the success of the club, by sponsoring an appreciation dinner towards of the end of summer. This year, the dinner was held last night at Market Broiler in Fremont. Except for one, all the board members were in attendance.

A dinner may not seem much, but it's a token of gratitude to the members of the board for their dedication and love of the hobby.
