[ARRL-OK] Make It a Merry Christmas

Ponca City OK (Dec 21, 2004)

I was looking thru some news items and came across the article shown below .... As liaison for the Kay County Radio Club to the Salvation Army, as a member of SATURN, plus I feel rewarded to see all the work that our Oklahoma/Arkansas Division has acomplished - worldwide, and knowing that many of our Clubs work closely with the Salvation Army, I just want to take this moment to remind everyone to help me, by donating to the 'Red Kettle' every time you can.   Let's make sure that Wal Mart pays the full $1 million dollars .. there are a lot of needy families and hungry, homeless children out there.   Do your part, if you can.  You can also donate at <http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/>  You can also read, at this URL, how the the "Red Kettle" program started.  

Merry Christmas and Happy 2005
