Important Announcement
The SPARC
membership voted to suspend meetings and the
executive board structure for the
foreseeable future. All Club
activities will continue to take place. These
include walk-a-thons, cookouts, nets, Field
Day, breakfasts, the Durham Fair fundraising
event and the Christmas Party. The
existing Club dues structure will remain in
place. There has been a "members only"
section created on this website. By
entering their call sign and email password,
members will have access to exclusive
information such as financial reports,
repeater codes, the SPARC Forum and special
announcements for members only.
Additional information is expected to be
added in the future. Your email
password was given to you in your initial
email from SPARC when joining. If you
would like your password reset, please email
sparc at sparc.us. You may also change
your password on the members page.
Remember, if you use SPARC email, this will
change your password for that as well.
The chat room password is completely
separate.
This decision
to change the Club structure was not made
lightly, however it was realized that at
this point in the Club's existence, that
most everything we do can be handled through
the website, nets or email. With most
people's schedule's being so full these
days, it was apparent that this would allow
us to focus more on what the Club is all
about. SPARC has several social
functions where members can still get
together and many ideas can be shared at
these events as well. Any emergency
event functions will be posted and discussed
on the nets or Club Forum.
The by-laws
will be updated shortly to reflect these new
changes. |
