LCARA Captures Newsletter Contest
It was a very close contest, but in the end the Lapeer County Amateur Radio Association Waveguide has won the 2004 Club Newsletter Contest. The top three finishers included:
- Lapeer County Amateur Radio Association Waveguide
- Branch County Amateur Radio Club Branch Signals
- Muskegon Area Amateur Radio Council Flashovers
The entrants were rated on four different criteria: layout and composition, grammar and style, content of interest to radio amateurs, and local content. The awards were presented at the Michigan Section Convention in Holland on Friday, November 6.
Need More Members?
To increase their membership, the Top Of Michigan Amateur Radio Club is now offering incentives to members who sign up new members. For each new member they get join, the member gets a $5 discount on their membership. If they sign up four or more, they get a free year’s membership.
Get Members Involved
As a way to get more members involved in club activities, the Branch County Amateur Radio Association holds an annual QSL card design contest. The winning card is the official QSL card of the club for a year and bears the winner’s callsign, crediting him or her as the creator of the design.
Website Tip
Looking for a way to make your website more interesting? Consider posting pictures of members’ shacks. I picked up this idea after surfing the Garden City Amateur Radio Club website at http://www.gcarc.net/. Having such a page will allow some of your members to show off and others to learn from them.
That’s all for this month. If you have a tip for increasing club membership, improving a club’s website, or getting members involved, e-mail me at [email protected]…..73, Dan KB6NU
