2010 Nebraska State Fair

[kbØasq]

We received the following email from Stan NØYXV of the Grand Island Amateur Radio Society that he would like us to pass along:


I've gotten a lot of people that say they will be coming to help at the
State Fair. I've gotten very few that have actually signed up for a shift.
I MUST know how many people are coming so I can get tickets for everybody
to get in. I would hate to see somebody drive in from out of town and then
half to pay to get in just to volunteer. If you could pass along a message
to your folks that we HAVE to have people sign up I would greatly
appreciate it.

You can sign up online at http://statefair.gihams.org or by using the link
on our home page at www.gihams.org. If people don't want to use the online
form (it's not the most user friendly thing but it works) they can email
me at n0yxv@gihams.org.

I really think this could be one of the things that every Amateur Radio
Club in Central Nebraska needs to help jump start new memberships and to
revive old members. We have seen a few come out of the wood work around
here lately just because of the fair.
