A Message to our Members, current and future . . . . .
The Cherryville Repeater Association II is a non profit, New Jersey 501C(3) Corporation dedicated to Community Service Through Communication. Cherryville is an ARRL Special Service Club; as such, our members are active throughout the entire year in various Public Service Events, illustrating our motto. While on-going, active participation in Public Service Events or other club sponsored activites is not currently a requirement to maintain membership in good standing, all members are strongly encouraged to volunteer for at least one event every year. Volunteering can take a variety forms ~ holding a board position, chairing a committee responsible for a specific event or activity, serving as Net Control for a specific event or activity, or simply showing up with your hand-held radio and spare battery to provide the vital and effective communications that our club is known for.
There is a huge amount of work that is involved in keeping a club like Cherryville healthy, vital, and responsive to its membership needs. All too often, a small group of people is overworked trying to do everything. It makes much more sense for all members to participate and take active responsibility for the vitality of the club ~ YOUR Club! If every member pitches in a does a little bit, then no one suffers burn-out.
The worst thing to happen to a club like ours is for the active members to finally say "I've had it" and quietly disappear. It has happened too often in the past, and we don't want it to happen in the future.
Please . . . be an active member of this great club! Come to Club Meetings ~ we really do have a lot of fun! If you want to see things change, come to Board Meetings and be part of the solution. Raise your hand when committee chairs ask for help. All of us lead hectic lives, but there is probably a day here and there that you could carve out for your club. Otherwise, why be a member?
