[nrv-hams] announcement for Tuesday's special program?

[Patrick J]

Carter,

    I'm planning on attending Tuesday's meeting.  What I was thinking of was 
for lack of a better phrase a "press release" describing Glen, his trailer, 
the work he does, and an overview of the program.  Something we the club 
members could forward on to non-hams to pique their interest and possibly 
draw them to the meeting, and possibly consider joining the club.

73 Patrick
