The Framingham Amateur Radio Association is collecting toys for ARRL’s 2005 toy drive to comfort Gulf Coast youngsters left homeless or displaced as a result of the hurricanes, according to FARA President Gordy Bello, K1GB.
“As the toys have to be received before Thanksgiving, I am making a request now for FARA members to buy one toy and bring it to the November general meeting.” Adds Bello, “it doesn’t have to be expensive.”
According to ARRL, country singer and ARRL member Patty Loveless, KD4WUJ, has agreed to serve as the honorary chairperson for the 2005 toy drive.
Last year’s FARA’s toy collection was a huge success.
