Folks,
I think the sponsor line was overlooked when we went to another supplier.
This would be my fault, and I offer apology to all, particularly to Kieth.
It was not intentional, and I believe we discussed it last year (summer) in the same vein as now.
 
We will be putting the sponsor info on the plaques again.
 
By the way, Sponsor recognition has always been posted on the web site, along with any dedication info supplied by the sponsors.
 
Chaz has kept the plaque fund healthy, and certainly has executed swiftly.
He found a supplier of excellent quality plaques at a better price.
Prior sponsors will soon be contacted to ask for, or confirm, their continued support, and at a reduced donation of $20 this year.
 
Your support of GQP for prizes has been great, Thanks to all.
 
Thanks to Kieth for the reminder on this one.
I am not sure we would have remembered it, from the notes that went around in the summer.
Chaz may have remembered it, but I certainly needed the memory jog.
 
I will be glad to answer any questions, as best I can.
The program is pretty good, but obviously not perfect.
 
GQP was #3 last year (my estimate) for participation.
Let's keep it growing...
 
Mike, NE4S

GQP, the fastest growing QSO party, is on 4/11+12 2009.

Be well

To be honest...
That is why I don't sponsor any longer.
I didn't mind contributing when I got a little recognition in return.
I always appreciate the emails from the winners thanking me for the Plaque.

I have been wondering about this since last year, and was not sure who to ask.
It could have changed when Chaz too over the Plaques.
Prior I know it would say...
"Sponsored by K4KAL, etc..."

Yes.  I am sure they did.  I didn't realize the sponsor's call or name didn't appear on them any more.  I will forward this inquiry to W4GKF and NE4S for a further reply.  73, John, K4BAI.
