<div dir="ltr">I had an interesting conversation with past NCDXA
president K3LP last night.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>First, Dave is asking if NCDXA is willing to be a major
player in supporting the January/February 2016 DXpedition to
South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands - the #3 and #7 on
the most wanted list</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Dave's offer is that if NCDXA is willing to donate $1,001
to that operation, that he'll donate $300 of that personally.
I'll join him in offering $100 of my own funds to that
contribution. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If the club membership agrees, NCDXA will contribute $601
from our treasury to support a major, high profile operation
where we'll be billed as a major contributor. Given the high
(astronomical!) cost of operations like this, it makes sense
to me for the club to consider contributing. Of course, if
individual members want to add their contribution to the pot,
it'll be used to defray the club contribution. <br clear="all">
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Have a look at <a moz-do-not-send="true"

style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica
Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida
Grande',sans-serif;font-size:14px">http://www.intrepid-dx.com/vp8/ </a> for
info on the operation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm inclined to support this operation as it's what NCDXA
is for. Comments, support, or objections? Let's discuss on
the reflector.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Second: as NCDXA is currently lacking leadership, Dave is
offering to accept the role of President. We're currently
rudderless, with no meetings scheduled and nothing but just
me as the acting Treasurer.. let's consider this offer as
well (but not exclusive of the issue of a NCDXA contribution
to VP8).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To answer the obvious question, the current NCDXA
treasury is just over $3700.</div>

I think it is great that Dave is willing to take over as president.
I have no problem in using some NCDXA funds for this VP8
Dxpedition. <br>
