Dear NC ARRL Clubs,
Please pass this information along to your members. This year our club, in an effort to save money on postage, has decided not to mail brochures. Attached is a PDF with information on the 2009 Shelby Hamfest in Dallas, NC. September 5th and 6th. Tickets can now be purchased via paypal through our website at www.shelbyhamfest.org/hamfest.htm
We are giving away 14 radios this year and you do not have to be present to win.
