***************************************************************************

 

* ARRL again participating in the Combined Federal Campaign: For the fifth
year running, the US Office of Personnel Management has designated the ARRL
to participate in the 2006 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC)
<http://www.opm.gov/cfc/>. In the past, this campaign for federal government
civilian employees, US Postal Service workers and members of the military
has generated more than $69,000 for ARRL programs.

 

The CFC provides an easy way to support ARRL's efforts to represent its
members and all radio amateurs. Similar to the United Way, the CFC
encourages individuals to pledge by payroll deduction to non-profit
organizations of their choice.

 

The ARRL encourages eligible radio amateurs to consider the League when
designating campaign recipients. Those wishing to select the ARRL to receive
all or part of their payroll deduction should designate organization 9872
when completing their CFC donor forms. Donations to ARRL can be designated
for Diamond Club contributions, the ARRL Spectrum Defense Fund or the ARRL
Education & Technology Program. Or, donors may make unrestricted
contributions to the League.

 

The ARRL Development Office would appreciate a copy of the donor form
<mhobart at arrl.org> to ensure that each contribution is applied according to
the donor's wishes and the contribution or pledge can be properly
acknowledged. The 2006 CFC ends December 15.
