Hi,  Ron.

 

I am happy to report that ARRL Atlantic Division Director Mary Newingham, AG3I, has approved the Gloucester County Amateur Radio Club to host the ARRL Southern New Jersey Section Convention in Mullica Hill, New Jersey, on October 11.           

            

I have added this event to the ARRL Hamfests and Conventions data base on the ARRL Web page.

I am planning to include this hamfest in October QST's Convention and Hamfest Calendar column.

 

You are welcome to display the ARRL diamond when promoting your event on web sites, in e-mails, advertisements and all other program materials.  The ARRL logo can be obtained by downloading it from www.arrl.org/logos-photos.

 

As a reminder, there are resources and information on the ARRL Sanctioned Events Web page

(http://www.arrl.org/arrl-sanctioned-events) that may help you organize and plan your event.  

 

I will send you ARRL prize coupon certificates by way of a separate e-mail much closer to the date of the hamfest.   You will be able to give these certificates away as door prizes.   

 

We wish you the best for a successful ARRL Southern New Jersey Section Convention and HamFest!
