[FARReps] [Fwd: An Un-Conventional Maryland State Convention #2006-06]

[Hugh B O'Donnell]

To All,

I forgot to mention in my previous message that we have been contacted
by Vikki, KA3PVS regarding help for FAR-FEST in September. We are
working on a list of people who can help at Gates or other locations and
functions.  Do you have specific needs?

At our next Exec. board meeting we will vote on whether or not
to have a Club table at FAR-FEST.   (I vote "Yes").

We will let you know as soon as we meet, next week.

73,

Hugh O'Donnell
W3FUO
Secretary, G.A.R.C.
