This year's Fowlfest will be returning to my QTH's backyard knoll...in the <br>antenna farm under the shade of the cherry trees...at W3NRJ (formerly W6NRJ) in Darnestown, MD, just two miles from
<br>Gaithersburg and 9 miles from I270. 15301 Turkey Foot Road Gaithersburg (or Darnestown MD) 20878.<br><br><br>WE HOPE TO GET NEW ATTENDEES THIS YEAR TO JOIN THE PREVIOUS LONG-TIME FOWLFEST CHAT AND CHEWERS.<br><br><br>This is also first call for VOLUNTEERS to help procure the items, set up, cook the chicken, serve, and return tables, <br>chairs and grills. This year I have been working on building tables plus finding a FREE source of grill, tables and <br>folding chairs. The items will be FREE to the clubs IF we have volunteers to help return chairs and grills to the <br>Rockville location right at the RT. 28 and I 270 interchange 9 miles from my house. (Members with pickups MIGHT be <br>needed if I can not borrow the truck owned by the source for tables and chairs.)<br><br><br>Note to procrastinators: those first to respond with confirmations will get to use eating tables, to the extent of what <br>we can pull together, by having table reservations.
Others will need to bring lawn chairs and lap trays. When I get a <br>feel for the number of attendees, we will try our best to get sufficient tables and chairs for all ...AGAIN if we get <br>clean up, drop off and unload volunteers. Getting tables for all as a goal is in response to some comments (grumbles?) <br>about the need to bring sitting chairs and TV trays previously at the W3NRJ QTH. Hopefully, the attendance will go up <br>with the tables/chairs provided..<br><br><br>Note that Aug 19 will be the rain date. However, if we set the hours from 11:30 -- 2:30 this year we may just beat the <br>typical summer late afternoon storms.<br><br><br>Respond to this email and copy the Reflector to show all you plan to attend. (2nd notice will be at the W3LPL Open <br>House.) THANKS !<br><br>73, Jim W3NRJ<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>NCDXA mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:NCDXA@ncdxa.org"
