AARAI Promotional Brochure
We have a beautiful AARAI promotional brochure, free for downloading.
Save it to your hard drive and print out as many as you wish. Print out on both sides of a sheet of paper, and fold in thirds, with the AARAI logo on the outside. It's a great promotional material to always display on your church's bulletin board.
Your Support is Needed
We are now able to accept donations via PayPal! A simple click on the icon below is all it takes. Your contributions are very important to us, whether cash donations or equipment. Sometimes we are able to provide a radio to a needy missionary or another individual. In addition, we have expenses for our website, office supplies, and many other things.
Alternatively, checks made out to AARAI may be mailed to our treasurer as follows: Sharon Staddon, KL7ZD, PO Box 50820, Billings, MT 59105-0820
With the right funding, we could add ASI conferences and the like, but it all depends on the generosity of our members and friends. We have many other expenses for web hosting, office expenses, etc.
