[MIham] Woddward Dream Cruise Help Needed

Wed, 13 Aug 2003 23:54:42 -0400

Just a reminder about this upcoming public service event.

Wayne County has the Free-Press International Marathon coming up on 
October 5th.
We'll be needing about roughly 50 hams to help out on this even also. 
You can contact
George N8CLH at [email protected] for more info. I'll post as I get info also.
