LPRC ANNUAL PICNIC -- COME ONE, COME ALL!! August 7, 2011

This year's LPRC Annual Picnic and BBQ will be held on Sunday, August 7, 2011, 10:30AM - 5PM, at the N6IJ Site at 599 DX Drive, Marina, CA. Thanks to our partners and friends at MBARA for generously allowing us to use the N6IJ facilities for this year's Picnic!

BBQ lunch will be served at around 12PM continuing to around 2PM. The BBQ lunch is free to members, $10 each for guests. The Club will provide the BBQ entrees, condiments, drinks and a few sides, but as always we need and welcome pot luck sides and beverages (salads, desserts, etc.). We hope to have a prize drawing, and a T-hunt. I'll update via the e-mail reflector on the agenda as we get closer to Aug 7.

The Annual Picnic & BBQ is a great time to reconnect with good friends, meet the members and their families, and--of course---to renew your club membership! We really need all members who haven't already renewed in 2011 to renew at the picnic or in advance by mail---and we welcome any and all new members to the Club!!

PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO INCREASED TOWER AND REPEATER SITE EXPENSES, WE MUST INCREASE ANNUAL DUES THIS YEAR TO $40 PER MEMBER.

We also welcome and need your tax-deductible donations! Thanks in advance for your much-appreciated support for the LPRC!! Don't forget to also support our N6IJ/MBARA partners and friends.

Additional info on the picnic site is included below. Unlike Mount Madonna, there's no entry fee to the N6IJ site!

So that we get an accurate count of who's coming, please RSVP via reply to me at jh-mty@sbcglobal.net or via the "lomapioneer" Yahoo User Group reflector indicating whether you will come, number of guests, and lunch entree(s) preference (steak, chicken, hotlink, hamburger, hot dog, veg burger). You may also check in on the Tuesday night net and RSVP.

Looking forward to seeing all of you there!
