Dear Friends,



The HamCon Colorado 2009 committee would be grateful if you would
forward this to your club members, and other hams and non-yet-hams
that might be interested.



After 18 months of planning and preparation, HamCon Colorado 2009, the
ARRL Rocky Mountain Division Convention is almost upon us!  The big
event will happen May 29-31, 2009 in gorgeous Estes Park, CO.  Many of
you are already registered and have your accommodations booked.



If you've not already made your HamCon Colorado 2009 reservation, or
your hotel room reservation, time is running out for your best
opportunities!



On April 28th, our host hotel (The Holiday Inn in Estes Park) will
release the remaining rooms blocked for HamCon Colorado to general
public sales.  Our amazing special rate of $89/night will still be
good, but rooms will be on a space-available basis only.  If you'd
like to stay at the Holiday Inn, wait no longer!  Call them today
(Sunday, April 26th) or tomorrow (Monday, April 27th) to avoid
disappointment.  Call the hotel directly at (800) 803-7837 or (970)
586-2332, and mention that you're with HamCon Colorado to get our
preferred rate.



Then, be sure to get your HamCon Colorado registration in too!  You
can register on-line at www.HamConColorado.org, or you can fill out a
printed form and mail it in.  But, our discounted $15 advanced
registration ends on May 14th.  After that, registration will be $20.
Save some bucks, get your HamCon Colorado reservation in soon!
