The online primer you're about to read is a compilation and updating of the best of ARRL favorites: The Club President's Workbook and the Special Service Club Manual. Because ARRLWeb contains hundreds of pages of current and frequently-changing information, no static book can quite match it for information that active clubs need. This primer is loaded with helpful links and ideas galore to get your club enlivened! Thanks go to Marjorie Bourgoin, KB1DCO, and Margie Bourgoin, KB1DCO, for editing assistance; Tom Hogerty, KC1J, and Mary E. Lau, N1VH, for technical assistance, and, Rick Palm, K1CE, for his authorship of original source materials.
