[SMCARA] Tailgate Fest

[Fletch]

Send me the flyer up here and I will disseminate on the AAREA mail list. 
We are not a formal club, just an associated group of hams.

Advanced tickets for $x and $x+2 or 3 at the gate sort of thing might encourage early participation. I would go for the raffle approach as an auction probably would not bring in enough to pay for the prize.  We need to start hawking the raffle tickets now.  Mass mailing to all clubs in the Mid-Atlantic area is a start.  ARRL can help here with POCs..

At one point in our history we had an informal dinner get togethers at Bon Buffett of interested folks to help plan/brainstorm/recruit/whatever for an event. Venue of your choice, but let's start the ball rolling (faster, since it is already moving!).
