Press Release: Another Radio-Thon For Charity Success

The Niagara Peninsula Amateur Radio Club, Inc. held its second Radio-Thon for Charity this past Canada Day 2009 and it was another success. $656.00 was raised for charity. The CNIB Amateur Radio Program received cheques and cash in the amount of $430.00 and the St. Catharines General Hospital Foundation received $226.00. Total funds raised the past two years now totals $1,336.00. Thank-you.

During the Radio Amateurs of Canada, Canada Day Contest, an open house was held at the station of Peter, VA3WET. Many local amateurs dropped by to make donations and to help make contacts with amateurs across Canada. Those local amateurs were: Kevin, VA3KGS; Rick, VA3WU; Sue, KG4SUE/VE3; Peter, VE3HM; Geddie, VE3CJX; Peter, VE3PET and Dale, VE3LVW. Despite the less than ideal band conditions, 80 contacts were made from British Columbia to New Foundland and Labrador. Most contacts were in the 80 meter and 20 meter bands using a 10/15/20 meter dipole at 20 feet and a Butternut vertical for 10/15/20/40 and 80 meters. All contacts were by voice (or phone) and using 100 watts of power or less. No DX contacts were made.

The purpose of the Radio-Thon for Charity is not only to raise funds for local charities but to raise public awareness for amateur radio, the Niagara Peninsula Amateur Radio Club and the Radio Amateurs of Canada. It is a fun and social event to take part in. If you are an amateur and wish to get involved with this worth while community project next year or have your club get involved, contact Peter at VA3WET@RAC.CA for information to help you run your own local Radio-Thon for Charity.

Thank-you to everyone who participated and everyone who made pledges. Your donations will make a difference.

Roland  Arthur  Goodman
May 29, 1927 - Aug 4,2010
GOODMAN, Roland Arthur - It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of our
beloved father Roland Goodman. Ron was predeceased by his wife Rita (1984). He is survived
by his brother Roger and Myra Goodman and his four children, Astrid (Michael), Brian, Kim
(Marcel) and Roland (Kathy) and his many nieces and nephews. He leaves behind his four
grandchildren, Devon, Andrew, Dylan and Ira whom he loved dearly. Ron emigrated from
England in 1949 to Canada where he met his lovely wife Rita and raised their family. He
taught Geography at Niagara District High School for 25 years. Ron never spoke an unkind
word, always had a joke or laugh to share and was there to help anyone in need. He was a true
gentleman in every sense of the word and always displayed a positive attitude. Anyone who
knew him was a better person because of it. His legacy will carry on through his family. He
will forever be in our hearts until we meet again.
The family will receive friends at the VINELAND CHAPEL of the TALLMAN FUNERAL
HOMES, 3277 King St. on Friday 2-4 and 7-9 pm. The Funeral Service will be held at the
Vineland Missionary Church, 3874 Victoria Ave. on Saturday, August 7th at 11 am. Interment
will follow at Vineland Cemetery. If desired, memorial donations may be made to a charity of your choice.
