WCARC and WC-ARES are Accepting Your Donations
Did
you know that WCARC and WC-ARES can take your old gear and turn it into
funds? Kees, K5BCQ, has a great track record of taking donated
equipment and selling it on eBay for top dollar and all proceeds go to
either WCARC or ARES, whichever you prefer. These funds keep our
membership dues down, and give us ready cash for special events.
If you have anything to donate please contact Kees, K5BCQ. He can even come by and pick it up.
