[QCWA Hotlist] Nomination Committee Request for Assistance

[Earle Smith - VE6NM]

Good Afternoon, Walt:

The Nomination Committee and I really appreciate 
the support we've received from QCWA members such 
as President Bob Roske, yourself and others.

I can do no better, Walt, than to remind our QCWA 
members to take to heart the words in your last 
paragraph below.  We members know the folks who 
are qualified so why not sit down with them over 
a cup of coffee and get them signed up as 
volunteers and put their names in 
nomination.  There is no such an animal as too 
many volunteers - been there, done that, folks!

Thanks, again, Walt!

73

Earle - VE6NM
Chair QCWA Nomination Committee

P.S. Now that I think about it, I didn't 
volunteer for my job, either - I got asked, also!)
