Good Morning!
I'm proud to say that the combined ARISSat-1 and FOX fundraising effort has gathered 690 dollars over the last 24 hours! Donations have been received from all over the globe, both from inside, and outside, of normal AMSAT circles.
The real potential in these two campaigns is being able to reach out to those outside of the normal AMSAT circles, and allow them to quickly and painlessly donate via PayPal. Donations may be any size, and we have received anywhere from $10 to $250 from individual donors.
To make this campaign really successful, we need -your- help, whether you can donate or not. Please visit the links below and either "share" the Facebook link to your wall, or on the PayPal widget, click "Add to Site" and include the code on your website, blog, or even just your QRZ entry. Everyone on this list has at least one place they can post the widget, and help AMSAT raise money for ARISSat-1 and FOX.
The links are:

PayPal widget: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/echo/CTNews.php or http://www.qrz.com/db/KO4MA
If your club or group sends out HTML based emails, or has a website, or a blog, please ask them to add this widget too!

Hi Everyone,
I've set up a fundraiser on Facebook using Fundrazr and PayPal. If you have a Facebook or Twitter account, please visit http://bit.ly/c861N7 and use the share button to post to your own account. The $2000 dollar limit is far below what we need to raise, but is the max allowed by the program. I'm hoping I can create new ones as we exceed that amount.
I hope to soon have a PayPal donation widget that you can include on your own webpages, or anything html. When I get that working I'll post back here. The idea is to solicit support from those outside the normal AMSAT membership and circles.
Thanks for the support, and please help us pay for the costs incurred during ARISSat-1 construction, and get us off to a good start as we begin working on FOX!
