[CVRC] 5A1A trip to DAYTON HAMVENTION

[Dick Flanagan K7VC]

A note to the DX and Contesting community...

I am one of those who have been helped more than once by Abubaker over the 
years and my donation will be in tomorrow's mail.  This would be a great 
way for individuals or clubs to help someone who has contributed to our 
hobby realize their dream of attending the Dayton Hamvention.

Thanks.

73, Dick Flanagan K7VC

Subject: 5A1A trip to DAYTON HAMVENTION

   Hi, my name is John, W9RPM. I am a friend of Abubaker Assid, 5A1A/DL1AL.
As many of you may know, he is currently in Germany going to school. Over
the years before going to Germany, he provided many of us with 5A1A in our
log.

   He has always dreamed of going to the Dayton Hamvention. Now that he is in
Germany, he is able to get a Visa to come to the United States.

   He has very limited financial resources currently. He is going to school
and working a part time job.

   I, with the help of Scott, KA9FOX am trying to help him financially to be
able to come to Dayton this year. I am asking for donations from individuals
and clubs to help make this happen. If any of you would be able to send a
donation, I would ask that you send a check or money order to me at:

John Kjos-W9RPM
2723 E Burr Oak St
La Crosse, WI  54601-8010

Please make them out to me, John Kjos.

   If for some reason Abubaker, 5A1A is unable to make the trip, all
donations will be promptly refunded. Also, I will keep everyone informed as
to how things are progressing.

   It sure would be great if we as a Dxing and Contesting community could
help make this happen. I am looking at a time frame of having everything
taken care of my March 20th, to allow him to make arrangements. So I would
need any donations by then.

   I ask you to please consider contributing to helping 5A1A make the trip.

   If anyone has any questions, please email me at john at w9rpm.com or call me
at 1-608-787-6004.

Thanks and 73 de
John W9RPM & Scott KA9FOX
