Hi Bob,

Thanks for your message.  One would think that with your 

trip and your presentation that you had your hands full 

with things to do this coming Saturday.  

Thank you for your offers.  

Well, as far as the signs go, if you are so willing, we 

could use a large one outside near the main entrance 

that points to the LEFT saying: 

AMSAT

Parking In Lot

500 feet

The next sign in priority of need is one for indoors 

near the reception desk that points LEFT and says: 

AMSAT

Meeting in

Pioneer Hall

The challenge will be on exactly how to hold each one in 

place.  (By rope, frame, stake or tape?  I dunno yet.)  

My poor eyes likely won't notice any sign under two feet 

in length without lots of white space.  

The last sign can be an AMSAT banner, like that used for 

Hamfests, either very conspicuous inside the meeting room 

or immediately outside the meeting room, whichever would 

have the "greatest effect" (for photos ops or directions).  

I side with the former.  I just spoke with Martha on the 

phone and will swing by her office to pick up a banner 

this afternoon.  

Now if someone else can take charge of a FOR SALE 

display then that would be good.  Either 3x5-inch cards 

or half-sheets of 8.5x11-inch paper?  On a eisle or a 

table or a board of some sort?  Anybody?  

[Has everyone distributed fliers?]  

THANK YOU,

Pat Kilroy

ONE WEEK FROM TONIGHT, on March 14, I will be
visiting Pioneer Hall at the Historical Electronics
Museum at around 5:00 P.M.

The task will be to decide how to set up tables and
chairs for the AMSAT-DC gathering scheduled for the
very next morning and then to do the set up work.

IF YOU CAN MAKE IT to help set up the night before
then that would be wonderful.  Something new!

That way, 75% of the work will be done the evening
before, work that has in the past contributed to
late starts.  (Ugh!)

I'd like to start on time, at 11:00 A.M. on March 15.

Thank you,

Pat
