DORIS
CODY ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
In memory of Doris Cody VE3BBO who became a silent key on January 12,
1999, CLARA established an Achievement Award. Doris was a
dedicated
amateur and the following is a profile of her activities.
1965 - The Ontario
Trilliums was
formed and Doris was a founding member. She and other yls along with
their OMs worked hard to get the YL Club going. For many years Doris
was their Treasurer and in 1970-1972 was President. She also served as
Treasurer of the Trilliums QSL bureau.
1967 - A national club
for
Canadian yls, CLARA, was formed and Doris was one of the founding
members.
1969 - Doris organized
the first
Canadian YL Conference, held in Toronto. It was a great success and
many YLs from the U.S. were in attendance.
Other worthwhile projects she participated in were working at the radio
booth at the CNE on behalf of the Ontario Trillums and gathering
prizes and gifts for the annual Christmas party for patients
at the
Queen Elizabeth hospital. Doris always encouraged new yls to forget
their mike shyness especially the visually impaired and the physically
handicapped. Doris's OM, now silent key, was Steve VE3BBC..
