From Dave Prestel:

We are looking for volunteers to support the Knights of Columbus Fun Run public service event, Saturday, September 5th, 2009. The event is held at the Franciscan Friars Shrine of Saint Anthony in Ellicott City, starting at 7:30AM and ending around 11AM. It is a short (10 km) relatively low-key running event conducted in the area around the Shrine grounds. It’s a great opportunity to get started supporting public service events if you are new to them. All that is required is a 2 meter FM HT or mobile radio, and even if you don’t have one, we can pair you up with someone who does.

To volunteer, please contact Dan Wilt, N3YQ directly at N3YQ@arrl.net

A complete operations plan with directions and assignments will be sent out the week before the event.

73, Dan N3YQ

Dear Ian Millett, Ed Rosen, and BRATS:

On behalf of The National Multiple Sclerosis Society- Maryland Chapter and the staff of Crane Communications Inc., we would like to offer our sincerest thanks for your generosity and support of the 2008 Walk MS event in Towson. Thanks to your outstanding support, an overwhelming number of our walkers reported that they had one of the best experiences ever and they, too, are grateful to our sponsors and supporters.

Multiple Sclerosis stops people from moving. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society exists to make sure it doesn’t. Events like Walk MS enable the National MS Society- Maryland Chapter to continue to make strides towards our mission of ending the devastating disease of MS by generating funds for local programs & services and ongoing research.

The National MS Society- Maryland Chapter supports more than 6,500 Marylanders and their families living with MS. It is nice to know that we, in turn, can depend on giving members of the community, like yourself, to help support initiatives like Walk MS.

Thanks again for your support and we look forward to speaking with you and seeing you again next year!

Sincerely,

Lisa Dietrich & Stefanie Spatola
Site Coordinators
Crane Communications Inc.

Mark Roeder
Chapter President
National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Maryland Chapter
