[Bill Marx]

PLEASE PASS THIS MEMO ON TO OTHER AMATEURS AND OTHER RADIO CLUBS. IF YOU
HAVE AN AMATEUR STORE PLEASE POST THIS

Amateur Radio Operators Needed and trained CERT Personnel

Also if you or a friend who owns a boat and wants to be a security boat
operator for a better front row seat, then have them contact me too.

One of Fort Lauderdale's signature events, the 36-year-old Winterfest Boat
Parade, is changing course.

For the first time in decades, a city official said, the parade will start
downtown in the New River, by the Broward Center for the Performing Arts,
rather than at Port Everglades south of the 17th Street Bridge.

>From the New River, the parade's traditional 100-plus boats, decorated in
all manner of Christmas cheer, will proceed north up the Intracoastal
Waterway to their traditional destination: Lake Santa Barbara in Pompano
Beach.

Time is drawing close for the 2007 Annual Winterfest Boat Parade. I need
Amateur volunteers for bridge positions. By volunteering, you get front row
seats to the Winterfest Boat Parade. This event is shown in many different
Countries with over 80 BILLION VIEWERS.

December 15th is the annual Fort Lauderdale Winterfest Boat Parade. I need
two Amateur Radio operators for on each side of 7 bridges
throughout the parade.

7th Avenue Bridge

Andrews Avenue Bridge

3rd Avenue Bridge

Las Olas Bridge

Sunrise Bridge

Oakland Park Bridge

Commercial Street Bridge

Please, call me and sign up for this. On December 5th, we will have a
Control Boat meeting (PIZZA PARTY) and after the Parade in February, we will
have a super volunteer party.

All you need is a handheld with PL capability. A fully charged spare
battery, a headset and the desire to have fun. You will have a front
row seat to the parade since all the parade boats (100 of them) will
pass right in front of your Bridge.

For all bridge positions, you can bring one friend, wife OR husband to keep
you company.

AGAIN, PLEASE CALL ME @ 954-249-5343 or send me an email at
n4hhp at comcast.net <mailto:n4hhp%40comcast.net>

Ps.... Any Ham from anywhere is welcome to participate in this parade.
