Dial "M" for Mentor

Now when your club updates its information on the ARRL webpage
you will have the option to designate your club as a Mentor club
by checking the box in the services section of the information
page.  This is will allow new hams that are looking for mentors
to see that your club is offering this service.

If your club has a mentor or "Elmer" program please be sure to
indicate this by updating your information by using these simple
steps:

*  Locating your listing by first accessing
   http://www.arrl.org/field/club/clubsearch.phtml

*  Then click on your club's highlighted name to get to its
   listing.

*  When your page appears, scroll down to the bottom where it
   says:  "Submit updated information for this club."  After
   you've made your changes,

*  HIT the "submit" key and your update will be sent to us.

After the submitted data is reviewed, updates are made and
changes can be viewed on the web in a few days.

We are revamping the Affiliated Club Search page that will allow
users to search for clubs by services provided, such as Mentor,
in addition to geographic location.  This will be coming soon.


Teen Ham Inspires Others

A ham since age 8, a General at 10, and an Extra at 14, this
dynamic YL has made many friends through ham radio.  Sara Saeger,
K3OOO, says that lots of young people like the challenges that
ham radio has to offer and are proud of their achievements.  Read
her story here:

If your club is planning any licensing classes in the next few
months, please be sure to register as a volunteer instructor and
you will receive a 25% discount on study guides.

Also, if you don't have a plan already in place to mentor these
new hams, contact me, Norm Fusaro,W3IZ, for some suggestions on
getting your mentor program ready.
