[MRCA] camp evans/nj antique radio club meet july 21

[Al Klase]

Ray, /et al,/

Here's the cost run down:

Camping Friday night:  FREE  (Let me know your intentionse, I need to 
manage this myself.)

NJARC Buyer Fee:  $5.00

NJARC Vendor Fee:  (non-member) $30.00.  Includes one $5 admission.

Not sure if or how we'll do food.  Pot-luck cookout worked in the past.

Keep in mind that travel to this area (Jersey Shore) on Friday evening 
may require patience.  Let me know how early you intend to arrive.
