[NCDXA] August Meeting Reminder -- FOWLFEST at W3NRJ

[Terry Hines]

Good morning!

Next Saturday is the August meeting at the home of W3NRJ and hosted by Jim
and Todd, WB2ZAB. If you are planning to attend this great annual event
please RSVP to our hosts and let them know what you are bringing as a side
dish or desert - they can't plan if they don't know you are coming. We also
need to keep in mind that it takes much more than just our $5 donation to
support the wonderful meal. Below you will see Jim's notice about the speed
sensing cameras in Montgomery County - take this warning seriously. Don't
forget your lawn chair. As usual, we will congregate under a shade tree
around 13:00 and the meeting will follow our usual agenda.

Gaithersburg (or Darnestown MD) 20878.

>From I-270 we are out State Route 28, Darnestown Road, 2 more miles. After

LAST YEAR'S ATTENDEES REMEMBER MASTER CHEF TODD'S DELICIOUS SEASONED AND

GREAT FOWL !


This is also first call for VOLUNTEERS to help set up tables by coming at
9:30, the morning of the event while Todd and I get the fires going. 

Note that Aug 24 will be the rain date. However, if we set the HOURS from
11:30 -- 2:30 for the August Saturday 23rd, we may just beat any typical 
summer late afternoon storms.
