Some Miscellaneous Updates:
In case you were not aware, a few weeks ago, we placed
an Exhibit Kits and Brochure order page on our Website located at: http://www.arrl.org/brochures/
This Web page can be accessed on the ARRL web page - Services Yellow Tab
- Event Materials. These products are now ordered through our store and
shipped via the warehouse. This makes these items easier to view and
order. It also makes it easier for us since exhibit kits are no longer
custom picked, packed and shipped for each order. We can also track their
inventory more efficiently. There is no charge for the material, but we
do charge for shipping. Because they are shipped using our standard
fulfillment process, buyers are now issued a FedEx tracking number. Debra
Johnson, Micah Murray, Amy Hurtado and Norm Fusaro were the project team for
this effort.
Also, due to the efforts of John Proctor, Ann-Marie Pinto and Penny Harts,
we have installed a PC based Point of Sales (POS) system at the front
desk. This system prints out a receipt for all purchases made from the
lobby store rather than using the handwritten receipts and it also allows us to
track our inventory more efficiently.
Also, Deb Jahnke and I would like to thank the Board
Members who have already donated items
to this year’s auction. We are also having a “flea
market” category in this year’s auction, so if you have anything
interesting for that category, let Deb or me know. We are not looking
for” basket cases”, but equipment that is in less than perfect
condition is certainly acceptable. Vintage gear from Collins, Heathkit,
Hallicrafters and Hammarlund seem to be particularly popular.
I
have also cc’ed the staff who were involved in these initiatives.
