Mointoining strong QCWA Chopters requires
thot recruiting efforts must be o regulor octivity.
Our future depends upon it. While Chopter One
odded to its roster during the 2009 recruifing drive,
members ore encouroged to continue extending worm
welcoming invitotions to others who hove yet to ioin
ACWA.
How hove new members been recruited? The Chopter
promotes membership with o toble ot the Clevelond
Homfest, including o disploy, literoture ond personol contocts
with Officers. Members contoct friends ond fellow
homs, often moiling fliers with "reosons to ioin Chopter
One," olong with on opplicotion, invitotion letter ond reply
envelope. We encouroge members to invite their friends
(condidotes) to ioin us for quorterly luncheons. The bottom
line: there's nothing like personol contocts to stort the
recruiting process rolling.
Chopter One continues os o sPonsor of the Hom Rodio
Promotion Proiect, which is o cooperotive ellort by 22
rodio clubs to build the omoteur rodio service through promotion

treotment following his stroke ot the end of 2008 ond wos
unoble to otiend. Note Firestone, W3SVJ, offered to
deliver Bill's 75-Yeor Certificote ond ploque to him personolly
olong with the wishes of Chopter 6.
Following some Chopter business, q short iolk wos
given on recognizing the symptoms of stroke. Sirokes hove
plogued o number of our members over the yeors, ond it
wos emphosized thot eorly recognition ond medicol ottention
were vitolly importont to lessening the effects of stroke.
Chopter 6 would like to welcome Bill Somek,
WB3BUW, ond Jim Greiner, WA3ZRN, to the ronks.
Both men fit right in with the Chopter 6 requirements of
breoking breod ond story telling. Here's to you, gents!
