[Ares-races] AN EXCITING PUBLIC SERVICE OPPORTUNITY

Thu, 11 Apr 2002 14:16:33 -0500

Hi all,

My club worked the Chicago "leg" of this run last year. This year we was
told if we wanted to work this event EACH ONE of us would have to pay $50.
Needless to say it did not make it to our public service list this year. I
do not know if all the areas will be this way or not.

73,

Marty kb9vhi
