ARLB026 League tips hat to amateur volunteers

ARRL Headquarters has issued a hearty thank you and a tip of a
ten-gallon hat to all Amateur Radio volunteers during National
Volunteer Week, April 18-24.

Our great hobby is even greater because of your dedication and the
many types of efforts you put forth. Your volunteer activities start
with planting the seed about Amateur Radio and continue in assisting
with earning a license to encouraging a ham's interest in any and
every aspect within Amateur Radio.

In the realm of public service, ham radio volunteers serve admirably
to provide emergency communication and assistance of all types
during disasters and emergencies everywhere. For disaster victims,
Amateur Radio volunteers often have provided a link with the outside
world when other systems failed, easing the plight of victims and
helping affected communities to recover.

All of you around the United States and overseas deserve high
praise.
