EVENTS:
Our convention will get under way on Friday, July 10, with afternoon
station tours and educational sessions. We'll leave the hotel at 6 to go
downtown for the baseball game, if you're going. (If not, the meeting
room and hotel restaurant will be open, and there are numerous other
restaurants close to the hotel as well.)
On Saturday, July 11, we'll have additional station tours and
educational sessions during the day, followed by our banquet, auction
and club business meetings in the evening. The meeting room will be open
afterward for informal DX bull sessions!
On Sunday, July 12, we'll have our famous DX Quiz in the morning, before
heading our separate ways. (There may be another tour or two as well, if
anyone's interested.)
If you are planning to come to the convention with your family (or are
trying to figure out your summer vacation plans), summer is the peak
time to visit the Fort Wayne area. The annual Three Rivers Festival
kicks off July 11 with a parade and continues for nine days with a
variety of activities.
Fort Wayne also has a nationally renowned Children's Zoo, a historical
society, an art museum and a botanical garden. If you are interested in
any nonradio activities for yourself or your companions, please get in
touch with Lisa at 585-442-5411 or lisa@xxxxxxxxxx and tell her what
sounds fun. If there's something else that sounds fun, tell her that,
too. This is not a comprehensive list. Lisa will coordinate any
extraconventional activities.
AUCTION:
Please send donations for the auction to Blaine Thompson, 6523 Emmons
Drive, Fort Wayne IN 46835 - or bring them to the convention with you!
TRANSPORTATION:
In addition to easy road access from much of the country, Fort Wayne is
accessible by most major airlines and Greyhound bus. Amtrak serves
Waterloo, Indiana, about half an hour away from the convention hotel.
Please let us know as soon as possible if you'll need to be picked up at
the airport, bus station or train stop. The hotel is just off I-69 and
has plenty of free parking.
