> I am so excited about this one!  Micheal, KD0OJN, age 11, and big sister 
> Kayli, KD0OZI, age 14, came to my Independence Examination Group a few 
> months back to take their tests and enter into the World of Amateur Radio. 
> Michael has worked his way up to General and has been on the air often, 
> having several QSL cards he is very proud of.  Kayli became interested as 
> well, and currently holds her Technician License.  They are very bright 
> young children and Mom home schools them.

> They now have Mom so involved she has decided to take her Technician

> I did fail to mention that Micheal will be taking his Extra and Kayli her

> Kid's Club Looking for Equipment Donations The Grandview Radio Operators 
> (GRO) Club is an amateur radio club started by 2 young operators (KD0OJN, 
> 11 and KD0OZI, 14) who want to help more kids get involved in amateur 
> radio.  They have permission to meet in an office building that has a 100 
> foot tower available for antennas.  They are looking now for donations of 
> equipment to get the kids on the air! Check out more about the club at 
> <http://www.groradio.org>.
>
> Some of the equipment needed would be: HF rigs, 2m/440 rigs, co-ax cable 
> (newer), co-ax switches, antennas (such as a multi-band G5RV), antenna 
> tuner, SWR meter. If you would be willing to donate any of these items or 
> any other quality/functioning items to the club, please contact Ron Bundy, 
> AD0DX at <ad0dx@xxxxxxxxx>.

> Additional comment from W0AIB:
>
> Surely there are several amongst you who would like to be a part of this 
> effort.  How about the Southside Amateur Radio Club members?  Norma is 
> certainly correct when she says, "After all, if it is not for the kids to 
> carry on, where would Amateur Radio go when it is our time to leave this 
> world?" I suspect that several of you were kids once, you may remember how 
> it felt when you got your first glimpse of ham radio.
>
> So, how about it?  Contact Ron, AD0DX, <ad0dx@xxxxxxxxx> and volunteer to 
> help.  Help assure a bright future for amateur radio.
