1. RAC Incoming QSL Bureau

Please remember that all VE/VA cards to VE/VA Amateurs are to be sent
to the RAC Incoming Bureau in Saint John, not to the Outgoing QSL
Bureau. This QSL service is only available to RAC members.

Also, if you choose not to receive QSL cards via the bureau, please
notify your respective bureau and also post your QSL requirements to
services such as QRZ.com. Thousands of QSL's are received annually
and never claimed. Bureau volunteers would appreciate your assistance
with this issue.

4. Center for the Advancement of Science in Space

CASIS Academy is an interactive learning website created to educate
middle school students about the International Space Station (ISS)
and to pique their interest through multimedia videos and features.

Students are most likely to lose interest in science fields while in
the middle grades. CASIS Academy targets students at this critical
age, using the excitement of space as a tool to increase interest in
science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers.
