2005 Combined Federal Campaign application

Gunther Meisse, W8GSM, AMSAT treasurer, announced the receipt of the acceptance acknowledgement of AMSAT's formal application for the inclusion of AMSAT in the 2005 CFC (Combined Federal Campaign) which takes place in the fall each year.

If granted, we will be available for annual charitable gifts by Federal Employees. This CFC program is much like the United Way in the non-government community.

We met with the CFC officials in Washington in December and look forward to our inclusion in this wonderful national campaign. About 1600 nationally recognized groups compete annually for the support of government employees.

Many space scientists and federal employees interested in the space and educational activities of AMSAT have expressed an interest in our participation in the CFC program.

We'll keep you posted on our status.
