Asunto: [CQ-Contest] Important Update from the World Wide Radio Operators Foundation (WWROF)

 
News Update from the World Wide Radio Operators  Foundation 
The World Wide  Radio Operators Foundation, Inc. (WWROF) would like to 
share several  important updates with the contest community. 
First, the WWROF has added two new directors to the  organizations 
leadership. They are John Sluymer, VE3EJ, and Tine Brajnik, S50A.  John and Tine 
are both well-known in the international contest community for  their 
operating skill and leadership talents. They join current directors Doug  Grant, 
K1DG; John Dorr, K1AR; Bob Cox, K3EST; Tim Duffy, K3LR; Mark Beckwith,  N5OT; 
Ralph Gator Bowen, N5RZ; and Tom Lee, K8AZ. 
Second, officer elections for 2011 were recently held.  K1AR was elected 
Chair, K3LR Vice-chair, N5RZ Treasurer, and K8AZ Secretary.  K1DG declined to 
run for a second term as Chair, due to his responsibilities as  President of 
WRTC2014, Inc. 
Finally, the WWROF has received a determination letter  from the U.S. 
Internal Revenue Service granting 501(c)(3) status as a tax-exempt  public 
charity. This means that contributions to WWROF by U.S.  taxpayers are deductible 
to the extent allowed by law. 
In the past year, WWROF has provided financial and  behind-the-scenes 
technical support for several programs of interest to active  operators, 
including several award programs and log-checking services for the  IARU HF 
Championship HQ station competition. 
But, this is only the beginning. Next year, WWROF will be  seeking to 
implement several high-impact, high-return programs that will benefit  the 
contest community at large. Our goal is to be innovative and execute on  ideas 
that have been discussed for years but have never been implemented.  However, we
ll need your financial support to get things done. The WWROF  strongly 
encourages interested parties to take advantage of our new charitable  status 
and consider an end-of-the-year 2010 tax-deductible contribution. And, of  
course, your ideas and input are welcome as well. 
As always, we thank everyone for your encouragement and  financial support 
to date. Thanks to you, WWROF is off to a great start and we  look forward 
to an exciting year of growth in 2011.
