[InHam] Lafayette Hamfest -- this weekend!!!

[Dean, Gregory A SSG RET]

Just a heads up, it is this weekend....
 
We will have a questionnaire at the Hamfest.  It has several questions.  If
you can not come and want to give input, please email me.  The questionnaire
is non binding and is for the information of the club membership for future
planning.
 
1. Do you prefer to have the Lafayette Hamfest on:
- Sunday (as it is now)
- Saturday
 
2. Do you prefer the Lafayette Hamfest on:
- third weekend of August (as it is now)
- the fourth weekend (closer to Labor Day)
- prefer another weekend _________________
 
3. Any other suggestions that you think might help the Lafayette Hamfest
attract more amateur radio operators in attendance?
