Good afternoon! By the end of this week we will mail our first quarterly mailing of planned giving information to 16,000 prospects. I am forwarding you a copy of the letter that will accompany an information brochure that outlines chartitable giving opportunities after the passage of the 2001 Tax Act. Accompanying the letter and brochure will be a response card which will help us follow up with interested prsopects and help us identify those who have already included ARRL in their estate plans. Individuals who do make a planned gift to ARRL will be included in major donor activities once we are notified. If you are interested in having a copy of the TAx Act brochure, let me know and I'll forward one to you. Mary <<memberletter.doc>> It's not too late to make a contribution to the 2002 Defense of Frequencies Fund by mail, phone or e-mail. Your support will help us defend Amateur Radio spectrum. Thank you. Mary M. Hobart Chief Development Officer ARRL 225 Main Street Newington CT 06111 Tel: 860-594-0397 email:mhobart@arrl.org
