1411 - NBARC November 12th, 2014 Meeting Notice ADDENDUM

I forgot to mention the NBARC Mission Statement as a requirement for the Ontario Trillium Fund (OTF). The mission statement should describe.....
 
Who we are.
What we do.
Where we are going. (What are our goals).
 
We would like all members to think about this and come up with three words to describe the above for our November 12, 2014. We will then have a brainstorming session and begin to develop the NBARC Mission Statement.
 
Here are a few Mission Statements to use as examples and get the creative juices flowing............
 
1) COMMUNICATE GLOBALLY; ACT LOCALLY; INVOLVE ALL INTERESTED MEMBERS & VOLUNTEERS.
 
2) This is a social gathering of like-minded individuals interested in amateur radio use and development. Training, inclusion of all, extension of our contacts and service by networking with others here and in neighbouring communities, is an on-going goal.
Regular coffee clutches and business meetings are held for planning and to discuss current events.
Community service is offered by members giving their time and use of personal radio equipment communications systems for the benefit of community events and connections to others and the world, and when requested, to assist civil authorities.
 
3) Promote amateur radio in the community and provide the training and support required to become an amateur radio operator;
Maintain radio systems suitable for providing communications for the benefit of the community; and when requested, to assist civil authorities.
Provide an opportunity for amateur radio enthusiasts to socialize, learn, exchange ideas and contribute to the enjoyment of our hobby.
In the next five years, aim to be one of the most progressive, enthusiastic and friendly amateur radio clubs in Canada, supporting ham radio for all in our community.
