*Current and former Hamilton Wireless Association members, and CERT
Radio members:*
*Your support is needed to maintain the Hamilton Wireless Association.*
Hamilton Wireless Association**(HWA) has filed articles of incorporation
with the State of California to become a corporation under IRS Code
section 501(c)3. To complete the process, an interim board of directors
has been formed. The interim board recently held its first meeting and
is planning a general membership meeting to be held in about 60 days.
The main purpose of HWA is to promote and strengthen emergency radio
communication. HWA provides classes, FCC examinations, and regular radio
exercises. HWA has repeaters in Novato, Mill Valley, and West Marin. HWA
partners with community organizations including MMRC, and MARS. The
clubhouse at Hamilton Field provides a valuable place for meetings and
radio operations. There are many costs involved in maintaining the HWA
and expanding our operations. We pay for utilities, internet access,
insurance and many other ongoing expenses.
HWA's primary organizer of all these activities has been Bill Smith,
AB6MT. The board intends to strengthen HWA, so that this alternative
communication resource stays viable. Section 501(c)(3) contributions of
money, equipment, or dues may be tax deductible. Although each
individual should make their own determination when filing tax returns.
Furthermore being a non-profit public service entity is extremely
important in seeking governmental of other funding resources.
Please help your HWA by paying your annual dues of $25. For non HWA
members, we appreciate your contribution in the same amount or any
amount you can afford. We are most grateful if those who can contribute
more because you believe in what we are doing.
