We are pleased to announce that CHRS has received a grant in the amount of $3865 from The Yasme Foundation. This grant is to reimburse CHRS for the costs of professionally moving The Maxwell Library from the Santa Cruz Mountains to KRE. We are grateful to The Yasme Foundation for their interest in our project and their continuing support. We are happy to report that CHRS has received the donation of a Liberty ejector pump to repair our aged plumbing waste system at KRE. We wish to thank Mr. Stuart Corvin, owner of the Cal-Steam Company for his generous contribution to our project. The Cal-Steam Company is one of the largest plumbing suppliers in California. |

IS HOW YOU CAN HELP US - We need your contributions. They
will be prominently displayed on a plaque in the building for $1000
donors. You can have your name on this plaque or on the $5000 plaque
or the $10,000 plaque because you realize how important radio history
is to our society and culture. We will also have some nice promotional
items available for $100 and $500 donors. Yes, we will be asking businesses,
corporations and other organizations for donations, but it’s a
fact that for this project and others like it, the initial financing
has to come from the membership. In order to attract large contributions
from outside, we have to show what we have done on the project. And
in order to have something to show we need your dollars. Please check
the box on your renewal form & contribute generously. We understand
that not everyone can donate money. And for those members, there will
be many opportunities to volunteer for work at the site. We will need
people with skills in all aspects of building restoration, maintenance,
and grounds maintenance - President
