Call to Volunteer for AMSAT-DC Meeting

WE ARE LOOKING for a few good people to help make our meeting and space seminar on March 15 an outstanding success. We can make it happen. AMSAT members in the past have been great hosts and hostesses.

More demos are sought. Do you have a piece of hardware that you built, software you wrote, an article of interest you wrote, any photos you took, or have an activity (done or to propose) that you would share with the group? Please do!

OUR NUMBER ONE REQUEST Help boost attendance! Can you help spread the word for us? Bring a friend, tell a teacher, invite others, talk it up on a net, or distribute fliers? Hand out fliers at a club meeting or a hamfest?

Can you post the "clip 'n' share" notice to an e-mail list?

Could you come an hour early to help set up or stay a few minutes late to clean up?

Can you bring some munchies or soft drinks to donate?

These items, above and below, are being coordinated on the amsat-dc e-mail list. If you don't make your help known in ADVANCE then we must assume that the task will not get done. Thank you for your support!
