I attended a national Citizen Corps Strategic Conference at the National Emergency Training Center in Emmitsburg MD this week. The meeting was a gathering of national Citizen Corps affliate organizations, including The American Red Cross, NOAA, Points of Light Foundation, National Crime Prevention Council, Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Department of Education, Volunteers in Police Service and others. -----Original Message----- From: Wilson, Mark K1RO Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 10:28 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: [ARRL-ODV:9786] Monthly ARRL in Action call for items Hi All. It's holiday time, and I wish you all the best the season has to offer. As I do each month, I'm asking for word of your doings that illustrate how ARRL is working for its membership. Anything is fair game -- aiding with materials for a school or club, interceding on behalf of a member to a governmental body, even going to a gathering (hamfest or something other) to let people know that we're here, we care, we listen and we're able to help and serve our members. I really appreciate your help. Please e-mail me directly with your items. My deadline is Friday, Dec. 15 for the February 2004 issue. Thanks and 73, Dave Hassler - K7CCC QST News Editor k7ccc@arrl.org
