If you would like to contribute to our club's coffers, mail a check to my (FCC database) address here in West Middlesex, or donate via Paypal to w3yq at w3yq.com.  Any amount is fine.  If sending a personal check, please make it out to Tim Jellison and not NCC.  Our club has never had a business checking account.  It's just easier for the treasurer to keep track of the money on a spreadsheet and store the money under the mattress. I'll send out a quick summary of funds received and an account total in a few weeks once I total up any and all donations.  And as always, donations are anonymous.  I never publish a list of who gave what.

As some (maybe many) know, WWROF stands ready to assist in safeguarding the contest community's interests in the CQ contests - the contests we so love.  As CQ Magazine's troubles seem to become more severe, the NCC membership thought it'd be wise to bolster WWROF's bank balance a bit by donating $500.  Our Prez and VP had to recuse themselves because they're also on the WWROF board.  Just for the record, the motion to donate was made by W8WTS and seconded by N3SD.  Other than Tom and Tim abstaining, the approval of the membership was unanimous.  I'll be mailing a check tomorrow.
