There is a long-standing tradition of agriculture analogies in central Pennsylvania.  Here’s one:  “as you sow, so you shall reap.”

The purpose of the Cumberland Amateur Radio Club, as stated in our formal organization documents, says:

“The purpose of the Club shall be to promote enjoyment of Amateur Radio by providing support to those members holding an Amateur Radio license and to aid, instruct and counsel such members and other interested persons desiring assistance in preparing for license examinations.  The Club shall endeavor to meet the needs of its members and the community through social, public service, emergency preparedness, technical advancement, and educational activities in the field of Amateur Radio communications.”

As a member of the Cumberland Amateur Radio Club you will be able to draw upon the collective experiences of all members having similar interests.  You might think of the Club as an idea exchange or a sounding-board for something you have been thinking about.

Another analogy — The sum is greater than its parts.
