To All Clubs and Club Presidents:

The New England ARRL Convention in Boxboro is one of
the most successful and consistent Ham Radio gatherings
in the country!  Since 1978 the hams of New England
and the Northeast have gathered in Boxborough, MA on
even years to attend seminars, swap stories, and buy
equipment.

For 2012 we are making a special effort to bring clubs
and club groups to the convention.  There are special
deals on club tables at both Banquets.  Get eight
people together, reserve a table, and you will only
pay for 7!

We have publicity materials available on our website:
