Re: KBARA merchandise costs update
Dusty makes a good point about the physical size of a challenge coin. Thankfully, nothing is permanently set yet. The manufacturer has 1.75 inch and 1.5 inch sizes as well. Smaller size will also reduce the cost per coin a little. For a comparison, if you've ever held a 50 cent piece like the one in the picture attached to this message, that is about 1.2 inches in diameter-
Anyone else like Dusty's idea of a smaller, easier to everyday carry size challenge coin? I think he's definitely correct and I agree a 1.5 inch coin would be nicer to keep on you all the time!
Reply with your ideas!

Hello
KBARA members!
We
have received a reply from the challenge
coin manufacturer regarding our club's
75th anniversary commemorative coin. The
total cost for 100 coins created and
shipped will be $733. This will be for a 2
inch, full color on both sides, gold coin
that will have the KBARA logo on one side
and the ARRL affiliate club on the other.
If we pay a $175 down payment, they will
begin the design work on the coin with
unlimited edits to the final appearance.
They will send us graphic files showing
the design for our final approval before
completing the order.
We
have received 52 orders for club tshirts
so far, with the majority ordering at
least two, so we've reached our 100 shirt
minimum order requirement! We plan to wait
till Monday May 2nd to place the order to
give everyone a last minute chance to get
in on having a club shirt! We hopefully
will have the shirts in time to distribute
them at the May club meeting.
We
have 59 name tags ordered so far. This
brings us high enough to get the lowest
possible price for club name tags. We will
also wait until Monday May 2nd to submit
this order to give any who still want to
get a club name tag a chance to do so.
When
adding up the total costs to the club for
all these items, it will equal $50 per
member for every member to receive TWO
shirts, one name tag, and one challenge
coin. This takes into account only the 52
people who have placed an order receiving
these items; if each one chose to donate
the $50, this would completely cover all
the costs for these initial orders and
setup costs and such. Due to the minimum
100 quantity required by the challenge
coin manufacturer, there would still be 48
coins left that could be sold to new
members or club supporters that will be
above and beyond the total costs to the
club.
The
club members present at our April club
meeting approved the acquisition and costs
of the shirts and name badges, but only
unanimously expressed a desire for a
challenge coin to be made and approved
getting a quote for them. As the total
cost of the challenge coin order quoted
exceeds $500, I cannot personally approve
this expenditure as club president without
a majority vote in favor of doing so. The
coin manufacturer states the quote is
valid for 30 from today, which would be
May 28th, well after our scheduled May
club meeting. The design work on the coin
will not begin until the $175 down payment
is paid. Once design work is completed and
the final appearance of the coin approved
by the KBARA, the manufacturer estimates 3
weeks till they're shipped.
This
leads to my question for you members;
would you like to vote via email and/or
text to approve/disapprove of the
challenge coin costs, or just wait till
the May club meeting to do so? The only
advantage to deciding immediately will be
that the coins will definitely be in hand
in time for SeaPac and Field Day, both of
which will be potential places to use them
to gain more club supporters. Otherwise,
waiting until the May meeting to approve
or deny permission to purchase the coins
will still leave plenty of time to receive
them in time for the July club picnic and
the actual 75th anniversary date in
October.
Please
do reply to this email to let us know what
you'd like to have done as far as having a
vote for buying the coins right away or
waiting until the May meeting!

Thank you for
your time reading all of this, and hope

Thank You Jon!
?? This is a great idea!? Between ARRL templates and guidelines, your prior experience with conventions, my experience with the annual Rock, Gem, and Mineral show at the Fair Grounds, outstanding connections with Discover Klamath and the possibility of a Tourism Grant, and the generous contributions of the many knowledgeable members, we should be able to put on a great event!?

Greetings All,
I am hosting a brainstorm and update Zoom meeting on Friday, April 29th at 7PM
My assumption is that if we do this, the intent is to make it an annual thing. If so, then we need to start planning each event at least 18 months in advance. Obviously we are on that schedule now for the first event. What may not be obvious is that we will need to start planning for the 2024 event before we hold the 2023 event, in April 2023.
As I have mentioned before, Tammy and I have done a fair amount of event planning over the years. I have been involved in several moderately sized annual conventions in department planning and as an executive. It is my experience that planning for an October event should begin in April the year before the event. This establishes a reasonable working pace that allows for training new folks in jobs and finding creative solutions to problems that inevitably crop up, and is much less likely to burn folks out. September and October will be crazy, there is just no getting around that.?
My intention is to make this a Gotta-Be-There annual event. The last thing I want to see is a half-assed attempt at a convention. We can always scale up from where we start, but we need to cover the basics to be considered a convention. We can be a major player in the space. It just takes commitment.
Currently I am working on a notes page based on my copious margin notes in the ARRL Convention Organizers Guide. If you don't already have a copy, download it from??this will be a good time to discuss areas that you have questions on. I am hoping to have something written up by Friday for dissemination.
As always, if you have any questions let me know.

?Hello KBARA members!
Attached is the sample item and price sheet for the various KBARA logo engraved items available to us from the local vendor.
As a head's up, the club will be purchasing five of the example number 7 name tags, with the red background and white lettering, to distribute to whoever is the current club officer for president, 1st and 2nd vice president, secretary, and treasurer. These will just have "KBARA" and then the specific title, so they can be passed to each successor for those?positions. So you are encouraged to order one of that particular style and color combination, as that will help reduce?the total cost for all and will offer some uniformity for club members!
To place your order for any of the items on the attached sheet, please reply to this email with the following information-
-Item # from list -specific color and/or options desired -exact description of what you¡¯d like engraved -total pieces desired
Let me know if you have any questions,?and thank you for your?continued support of our club! Erik KD6RRR

Yes, even if you are one of the RARE persons that still hold a Novice class license you are allowed to operate SSB on the Tech Net frequency.? Tonight's topic will be Satellite communications.
Also as a head's up on the calendar is the club picnic scheduled for Saturday, July 16 from 11:00 am until 4:00 PM to be held at Wiard Park under the canopy.? In the past to rev up some interest we have been known to schedule a hidden transmitter Fox Hunt in the morning prior to the picnic.? Also on July 16th, Ruth, K7RFO will be honored by members of the Oregon Emergency Net (OEN) to be held at Moore Park starting at 2pm.? So there you have it, you can feed your face at Wiard park then drive over to Moore park and say hello to Ruth.
On Saturday August 13th the annual Crater Lake Rim Run will be held.? KBARA supplies the communications for this event, we are always looking for volunteers.
Oh, and don't forget the SeaPac convention to be held in Seaside Or the first weekend of June.
73,
Jim WO7V

I spent some time going over the document from the ARRL on setting up a hamfest/convention and I think we are ready to hit the ground running. Even better, my wife, Tammy, who has done event planner/coordinator gigs in the past is also on board. We have done events together and they have all gone very smoothly.
That being said, I would like to do a Zoom call in the evening some time next week with everyone to discuss some planning elements to make sure everyone is on board before moving forward.?
If you are interested in participating please reply to this thread and let me know when is a good time and day for the Zoom call. I will post the final date and time as a reply to this thread on Monday.
I set the hashtag #KBARAhamfest to only send replies to people who FOLLOW the hashtag so we don't swamp anyone's mailbox.

Re: KBARA T Shirt order time!
Erik, I haven't been able to be there on Wednesday meeting times as it's on a church night. However, I do want to get a membership check to you and keep supporting KBARA. Should I mail it to you?
Also, I would like to get two t-shirts and pay costs plus. What is the cost to the club for these shirts?
