> Unfortunately, due to the City of Orlando declining to renew the lease on
> the American Legion Post #19's facility at 2101 Lee Rd., we're forced to
> seek a change in venue for our 2014 event. The Post #19 has been a great
> home for the Orlando Contest Dinner for the past four years, and we wish
> them well as they go forward. Unfortunately, their new home does not have a
> banquet hall available to rent.
> 
> However, I believe I've found a great replacement just across the street.
> The American Legion Department of Florida, the statewide chapter of the
> American Legion, has their headquarters literally just across Lee Road from
> Post #19's old building. So, on Friday, February 7, 2014, set your GPS to
> direct you to
> 
> 1912A Lee Road
> Orlando, FL 32810
> 
> which is a large two-story building with a blue roof on the opposite side
> of the street from the American Legion Post where our dinner has been held
> for the past four years.
> 
> One additional wrinkle with this new facility has to do with capacity.
> Always before we could squeeze in a few extra folks at the last minute, but
> fire codes strictly prohibit more than 100 people in the banquet hall we've
> rented, so our maximum capacity will be strictly enforced this year. Get
> your tickets early if you're thinking of coming; you won't want to miss the
> presentation by K1DG, president of WRTC2014, as he discusses the first
> return of WRTC to the USA since 1996.
> 
> Once again, as a reminder, the 2014 Orlando Contest Dinner will be held on
> Friday, February 7 2014 from 6pm until 9pm at the American Legion
> Department of Florida, 1912A Lee Road in Orlando. Our speaker will be Doug
> Grant K1DG, president of WRTC2014. To purchase tickets, send a $25 check to
> K4LQ at
> 
> 3437 Lake Josephine Drive
> Lake Placid, FL 33852
> 
> or, send $26 by PayPal to blake at n4gi.com.
> 
> Please mention the event to local and other regional clubs; we need to
> spread the word about the Dayton of the Southeast!
