WARTS NET PICNIC NOTIFICATION (Rev 1)

July 24th 2011 @10:00 AM

---Ken K7YR, Don W7GB, Peter AC7SB, Sherri, K7SHE---

 

The WARTS Net annual picnic will be held in North Bend Washington this year at the Valley Camp, (a private location) about 2 miles North of I-90 at Exit 34. “Ken’s Truck Stop.”  http://valleycamp.org/explore/picnicshelter

This year the Columbia Basin Net and the Northwest Single Side band Net will be joining us for our first Tri-Net Picnic. We will also welcome any “Golden Bear” Net Members who may be in the area on this date.

This is the Western Washington half of two joint efforts by all three Nets that will hopefully provide increased opportunity for all net members and amateurs to share fellowship and fun by providing one picnic location in Western Washington and one in Eastern Washington.  The Columbia Basin Net, the Northwest Single Side band Net, and WARTS picnic will be held in Moses Lake Washington on August 14th at the Blue Heron Park at 11:30 AM. http://cbn.homestead.com/ 

Full hook up camping is available at the Valley Camp. You need to reserve soon as there are not too many sites.  Motel(s) are as close as the “Ken’s truck Stop” exit and also in North Bend.  Of course the famous Outlet mall is just off I-90 at Exit 31.

This is a pot luck event so bring your favorite side dish, some chairs. Should you wish to Ham, a tri-band beam is ready to go along with trees ready for wire antennas. The shelter sports complete kitchen facilities, hot/cold water, and refrigerator. In case of inclement weather, there is plenty of shelter cover.

Hot Dogs, Burgers, Tableware, Condiments, Pop, and Ice Cream will be provided by the Net. Several door prizes will be provided by the Net.  While there are no parking or attendance fees for our picnic, donations are welcome.

We are considering a live “donation” auction of any radio and electronic equipment you would like to donate to WARTS Net.

Lunch served 12:00 Noon

Prize drawing 13:00

Auction if held 13:30
