[Georgek5kg at aol.com]

Chris,
 
What a great announcement.  Thanks for all the hard work that  obviously 
went into relocating our premiere FCG Banquet to a new  QTH. 
 
Sign me up!  My check will be in the mail to K4LQ tomorrow.
 
73, George.

Gentlemen & Ladies,

Unfortunately, due to the City of  Orlando declining to renew the lease on
the American Legion Post #19's  facility at 2101 Lee Rd., we're forced to
seek a change in venue for our  2014 event. The Post #19 has been a great
home for the Orlando Contest  Dinner for the past four years, and we wish
them well as they go forward.  Unfortunately, their new home does not have a
banquet hall available to  rent.

However, I believe I've found a great replacement just across the  street.
The American Legion Department of Florida, the statewide chapter of  the
American Legion, has their headquarters literally just across Lee Road  from
Post #19's old building. So, on Friday, February 7, 2014, set your GPS  to
direct you to

1912A Lee Road
Orlando, FL 32810

which is  a large two-story building with a blue roof on the opposite side
of the  street from the American Legion Post where our dinner has been held
for the  past four years.

One additional wrinkle with this new facility has to  do with capacity.
Always before we could squeeze in a few extra folks at  the last minute, but
fire codes strictly prohibit more than 100 people in  the banquet hall we've
rented, so our maximum capacity will be strictly  enforced this year. Get
your tickets early if you're thinking of coming;  you won't want to miss the
presentation by K1DG, president of WRTC2014, as  he discusses the first
return of WRTC to the USA since 1996.

Once  again, as a reminder, the 2014 Orlando Contest Dinner will be held  on
Friday, February 7 2014 from 6pm until 9pm at the American  Legion
Department of Florida, 1912A Lee Road in Orlando. Our speaker will  be Doug
Grant K1DG, president of WRTC2014. To purchase tickets, send a $25  check to
K4LQ at

3437 Lake Josephine Drive
Lake Placid, FL  33852

or, send $26 by PayPal to blake at n4gi.com.

Please mention  the event to local and other regional clubs; we need to
spread the word  about the Dayton of the Southeast!

73,
Chris WF3C
