Subject: Donations!!!

**************QST QST QST QST**********************

Wanted: A little time on your part and a little asking on your part.

Many of us frequent different places of business in Santa Barbara and Goleta. We eat out and we buy, buy, buy. When your in your favorite restaurant or store, please ask the manager if they would like to donate to a great cause. Our Hamfest in August. All they can say is no, but usually if they know you they will be glad to donate. We would like the load of work to not fall on just the same old group, when it doesn't take much effort to ask a simple question like "does your company donate to fund raisers"? That all it takes to get the ball rolling.

We do have the appropriate paper work and if you need those sent to a particular place of business, we will supply them. Just let us know. Or if you need some just to have with you we can get you the supply.

Thank you so very much for your help with this effort. We want to make it the best Communication Fair/Hamfest ever.

Another thing that would work is if you yourself have something that is new and it just is sitting in your closet. Candles, books, stationery, wine glasses, wine, HT's etc. We can put these in gift baskets, if they are new. I guess it's called white elephants. So check your drawers and closets for a donation from yourself. We would greatly appreciate it.

A lot of you out there are talented. If you would like to donate a photograph, painting, pottery or afghan those items would also be accepted with opened arms.
