Below is the original message:
A Petition to Maintain an Amateur Radio Presence at the Hall of Science
Dear ARRL members,
For more than 35 years, the Hall of Science Amateur Radio Club
(HOSARC)has demonstrated amateur radio to children at the Hall of Science
Museum in Queens, NY. We have also trained hundreds of new hams at
our free ham radio classes at the museum. We are now in jeopardy of being
removed from the museum as amateur radio is no longer a priority
exhibit at the museum, there is a change of leadership at the museum,
and there are renovations going on at the museum .
To help maintain our demonstration station, I need ARRL's help.
Specifically, I need ARRL to make mention of our plight on
its "Amateur Radio News and Features" frontpage and post a link to our petition to
stay in the museum. Our petition can be found at:

We need many thoughtful signatures on our petition before we meet with
the new president of the museum to plead our case (hopefully in the
first week in January). We need to show our new museum president (Dr.
Margaret Honey) that amateur radio is still an important part of
children's science education and that she can and should take
advantage of the wonderful resource amateur radio can be to the museum.
Additionally, if the ARRL has any connections to New York City
government officials, those connections would certainly come in handy
when talking to the museum.
Thank You
Joe Bertrani
