Public demonstrations can be one of the most effective means the club has to attract new members.
Members can help make such a demonstration a tremendous success both with organization and logistics and by sitting at the table during the demonstration hours and answering questions. The purpose of the demo is to recruit potential new members, by getting them to leave their names and contact information, but it is also a great opportunity to show off our avocation and evangelize about Amateur Radio to others. All members are encouraged to participate, even if they can only show up for a small period of time.
