Feb 25 - Club Display Opportunity -

Post by CraginS »

The Vienna Wireless Society Winterfest is coming up Sunday Feb 25.
http://www.viennawireless.org/winterfest.php
at Northern Virginia Community College Annandale Campus, Route 236, just a mile or two outside the Beltway.

They have offered us space for a HG club display in the outer lobby area, if we wish to participate. There will be no charge to the club. There will be enough room to set up a glider.
This is the same event that Ralph and I took part in several years ago. We had a good time, and Ralph wowed them with his HAM exam study program. This event is good PR, but is not likely to generate any new pilot candidates.

Oh, there will be fre HAM exams at the same location on Saturday, Feb 24.

I will be out of town and not able to play this year. However, if a couple of members want to take the club on the road, this is a fun opportunity.
A lead person should contact
Table Sales:
Len Hook, KG6ZR
(703) 366-3979
tablesales2007@viennawireless.org

General Information:
Jim Parsons, W4JTP
(703) 392-0150
winterfest2007@viennawireless.org

When you call them, if they ask, you can tell them this is the group that Jim Richey contacted.

I have my posters from earlier events, which you can use. We will need to arrange for transfer from me to use, working around my travel schedule.

I depart Saturday morning for a 10 day trip, then home for a day or two, then off again for that weekend, so catch me by Friday evening if you need more info from me.
