[aprssig] To Our Members & Donors - Thank You!

[Jeff Hochberg]

All,

Before we slip out of the holiday season entirely - this is a great time to
recognize those who stepped forward to show their support of APRS and the
Foundation's efforts to ensure the continuity and advancement of APRS!

The outpouring of support from the APRS community has far exceeded our
expectations! To say the support humbles us would be an understatement.

The Foundation has received eleven (11) donations via Donorbox.

We received two donations in particular that we never dreamed would be
possible:

The Bruninga Family: $1041.44
Amateur Radio Digital Communications: $1000.00

The following is a list of the other donations we've received - I am only
including the donor's initials so they can identify themselves on the list
- otherwise, we want to ensure we respect privacy and the same anonymity I
would expect if I were the one donating.

GT: $52.45
RB: $104.42
PV: $10.90
CB: $104.42
TM: $10.90
CK: $26.34
CR: $10.90
WJ: $26.48
SB: $52.45

In addition to our donors, as most, if not all of you are aware, the
Foundation officially unveiled our membership program on August 22, 2024.
Over the past 119 days (including today), the membership grew from the five
founding members to 174! I cannot express the warmth I feel when I log into
email almost daily to find that my membership has increased by yet another
ham committed to APRS.

There is one other option that doesn't require opening your wallet. That is
through donating your time! Please watch for another email in the
not-so-distant future where we will send out how you can help simply by
contributing your time (and skills).

Stay tuned for more news!

P.S. Since this group is still relatively new, I will cross-post this
message to aprssig and APRS on Groups.io.
