[SMCARA] Last minute call for Jamboree on the Air and Western Shore District

[Grant Graessle]

To Jim and Tom-
Thanks for your help this evening.  

To President Dan-
Do you have the club banner?  
If so, could you bring it tomorrow, and we attach it to the shelter.

David-  Where we are, there should be plenty of room for your camper and
digital demo. We should be easy to find.

To all, we will gather around 8am to finish setting up.  If you follow the
direction, there is a big field towards the end of the drive where most of
the Camporee competitions will be run.  Tom and I decided to set up in the
field (rather than on the hill) so that the boys will see us, and maybe
actually stop by.
So we are right in the circuit that they will do, but technically not a part
of it. 

  I will bring:
	COFFEE
	Bagels
	Water jug for water during the day.
	My newly refurbished and renovated set of Paddles, field tested at
the National Jamboree! 

What I need you to bring:
	Cup (for coffee and water)
	Chair (to sit in)
	HTs (Just in case we have so many boys, that we need alternate
methods to get them on the air)
	Maybe consider bringing a messkit if you want to eat with the
troops.
	Wear your uniform if you are a scout.

The word has been getting out among the troops and the boys are expecting
us.
The big thing we will have to work on is to teach them the difference
between broadcasting and transmitting.  And we get to transmit!

See you all tomorrow!

To all who have volunteered:  
JOTA is next weekend.  

Just to clarify:
Date:
	Set up: Friday October 18th, 3pm? 
	Operate: Saturday, October 19th, sunrise to sunset.

Place: Long Farm, Mechanicsville, MD
Long Farm 25775 Long Lane Hollywood MD, 20636 

Going south on MD-235/Three Notch Road, 9.3 miles south of Mechanicsville,
make a U-turn. Take the 1st right onto Long Lane/Lora Lane. Destination will
be on the left. 

Coming from the south, Long Lane/Lora Lane is 2.5 miles north of Hollywood
on Three Notch Road.

I told the organizers that we would not offer Merit Badge sessions
(generally takes 4-5 hours, and that's the speed session).  
But we would sign partials for the following requirements:
