>> Dear Fellow Amateur,
>>
>> 1.) One of our area hams is in need of help. Over the decades he has
>> given an enormous amount of time to helping others in and out of the
>> hobby such as volunteering for VE testing when indoor facilities were
>> not always available to accommodate registration. In the intense heat
>> of the summer and the numbing cold of the winter he was always there
>> helping others to complete license applications outside the testing
>> facility.
>>
>> I can go on and on about his volunteer support with ARES/RACES and
>> local events and his help to others in non related ham matters, but I
>> want to come straight to the point.
>>
>> 2.) Frank Scott (HD) K3HDM, has several serious physical problems that
>> has required hospitalization on two separate occasions over the past
>> months. He continues to be hospitalized. Because of his absence, his
>> business has taken some heavy losses and is in jeopardy. And to add to
>> his burdens, he has no health insurance.
>>
>> 3.) In an effort to help raise funds to pay for part of his mounting
>> medical bills, a number of local hams, spearheaded by Keith Poptanich,
>> KB3EGL, are planning a benefit concert, dance and crab feast at the
>> Laurel American Legion Post on November 6th, 2005. A live country music
>> band has volunteered their services.
>>
>> 4.) Most important however, is a need for volunteers to sell tickets
>> to the event. And it is not necessarily isolated to ham operators.
>> It is open to all. Keith informs me that 50 people are needed to sell
>> ten (10) tickets each.
>>
>> Although details are still being worked out, if you can be of help, to
>> someone who seriously needs it, contact Keith, KB3EGL, at:
>> kb3egl at comcast.net or 301-422-2122. "Please do not reply to this Email."
>>
>> 5.) Sometimes we have to give something back and help someone who is
>> not in a position to help themselves. Your consideration is appreciated.
>>
>> Request this message wide distribution to any type of area reflector and
>> try your best to volunteer. It's the right thing to do.
>> Thanks.
