<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; text-transform: uppercase;">Quick questionnaire</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Pse pass out the following questionnaire to your webmaster or your membership chair. One of the VA Clubs asked if I’d dig around and find out what is the standard practice is for on-line membership rosters. Specifically if the personal identifiable information is on line, and if so, if it’s password protected. It was easiest for me to generate a quick google form. While I’ve asked for your club name in the Questionnaire, when I pass the results to the club in question, I won’t include club names. If others would like to see the results, let me know. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The questionnaire is at: <a href="https://forms.gle/bgEgo72HhLuY6Z7z8">https://forms.gle/bgEgo72HhLuY6Z7z8</a> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Would like responses by March 30<sup>th</sup>, please.</span></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Looking forward to seeing all you all on the 30<sup>th</sup>, or working you on the air during the VQP event this weekend. Note I’ll be activating Nottoway and Amelia Counties this weekend as WA8AHZ/M, and I believe our Section Manager (and XYL) is activating the most rare Bland County. Not only work us on the air, but earn points in the Volunteers on the Air operating event by working Jack and me as a QSO w/ Jack is worth a whopping 175 points. Btw, my VOTA soapbox reads:</span></p>
