What is the 2008 Pioneer Calendar Campaign?

The 2008 Pioneer Calendar is an annual campaign to help raise funds to support the Pioneers and to share information about the good work Pioneers are accomplishing in their local communities.

Can I purchase a print of the Angus Macdonald painting featured on the Calendar front cover?

We do not have any prints available of this painting. 

How do I participate in a specific volunteer day listed in the Calendar?

Contact your local Pioneer Chapter.  If you don’t know how to locate your local Chapter, visit the website listed on your Pioneer group’s page in the Calendar. 

Why isn’t my local Pioneer Chapter featured in the calendar?

There are 1,300 Pioneer units internationally.  Each Pioneer group selects one Pioneer project to be featured on its featured Calendar month.

Who can answer a specific question I have about a featured photo?

The Calendar’s back cover indicates the archives where each photo resides.  Contact information is also listed for each of the archives that provided photos for the Calendar. Please contact the archive indicated for the photo you are interested in.

How are photos chosen for the Calendar?

The world-wide headquarters for all Pioneers located in Denver, CO works closely with archive historians to choose a diverse and varied selection of photos to provide a snapshot of the telecommunication industry’s long and rich history.

Why did I get a mailing that reads Reminder when I already sent in a financial gift to the Calendar Campaign?

Mailings are planned weeks in advance, again, to be as cost effective as possible.  This allows us to buy mailing supplies in bulk at the lowest rates and to maximize our postal savings.  Once the mail plan has started, it is more expensive to remove a letter from a mailing than it is to actually mail it.  Thank you for understanding that at times a new fundraising appeal will cross in the mail with your recent gift.

How do I remove myself from receiving future Pioneer Calendars?

Please email the Pioneer Resource Center at info@telecompioneers.org or mail TelecomPioneers Headquarters at P.O. Box 13888, Denver CO 80201 and we will honor your request to be removed from future Calendar mailings.
