[WWYC] Young Contesters Make Your Dream Come True!

[Lee Volante]

Hi all,

I've just been sent the below note to pass on to you all, similar to the message Hrle sent just before New Year, but containing some contact details for anyone interested.  Have many of our under 22 year olds now applied ?!?  Time is running out.  To show WWYC's enthusiasm and thanks for this sponsorship gesture, I think it's very important that a lot of applications are submitted.  If only a few are received, it could send a message that we don't like / need sponsorship, for WRTC or any other events, which I'm sure isn't true.

73 and a belated Happy New Year from me,

Lee G0MTN
