[QCWA] Fwd: QCWA awards- 2nd call

[Carolyn Harrison]

Greetings All,
I want to thank the ones of you who did nominate our fellow amateurs for 
the Presidential Honor Awards, which will be decided by President John 
Johnston's determination.

  At this time, I want to issue a second call as there may be deserving 
people whom you have thought should receive recognition for their 
outstanding contributions to amateur radio over the years but you have just 
not taken the time or forgotten to get in touch with me . Thanks!
