  Hi Chuck.   Regarding NLRS club contributions to QTH.NET, I can tell =
you what=20
  I know.  =20

  At our Aurora 2003 business meeting we approved a motion to send =
QTH.NET $150=20
  from the clubs funds.   In addition to that we collected $200 of =
individual=20
  club membership contributions that were forwarded on.   This does not =
include=20
  any donations that NLRS members may have made directly.

  At our Aurora 2002 business meeting we approved a motion to send =
QTH.NET $100=20
  from our club funds.    In addition to that we collected $257 in =
individual=20
  club membership contributions that were forwarded on.   In response to =
an=20
  urgent plea in August '02 the club donated an additional $100.    In =
summary,=20
  during 2002, the NLRS donated $200 of club money and $257 in =
individual club=20
  membership contributions.   This does not include any donations that =
NLRS members=20
  may have made directly.

  Prior to 2002 the NLRS has had a history of passing the hat around at =
our=20
  Aurora business meeting to collect individual club members =
contributions, but I=20
  have no documentation on the specific amount ...... from memory I =
think that we=20
  typically collected a couple of hundred dollars.

  In summary its my perspective that on the whole that the NLRS as a =
club has=20
  been, and continues to be, very active in its support of QTH.NET and =
that I=20
  would recommend that we continue to fund it in the same way as we have =
done in=20
  the past ..... I don't think that we need to pass the hat at our =
monthly=20
  breakfast.   With that said, we need to understand that QTH.NET is a =
nonprofit=20
  organization and because of that they have a fine line to walk in =
terms of=20
  requesting and receiving donations versus expenditures and I think =
that we should=20
  expect to see occasional requests for donations.   My expectation is =
that if we all=20
  contribute a little we will continue to see the great service and the =
value=20
  added activity that QTH.NET provides for our club and that extra =
ordinary fund=20
  raising efforts are not required.  =20
