I know some churches have no evening services...but have large youth groups who might be interested. It would be a good way for them to learn about the community service aspect of our work. Perhaps we could use a gymnasium of one of the large local churches or something...Just a thought.

Pat Knight, AD5BR, writes that, "Kids' Day is Sunday, January 7, from
noon until 6 PM our time (1800 - 2400 Zulu). I wish we could come up
with a site to get some kids on
the air."  And she's right.

Does anyone have an idea where we could set up a station for these six
hours (or less if necessary) on a Sunday where we would have access to
kids?  The idea is that you get the kids to talk to other kids on the
air.  Or maybe someone has a group of young people that would want us to
set up for a shorter period of time.  Any ideas would be appreciated.
