You should have received our flyer or vendor packet by now that the
"Hamboree" is coming up March 25th-26th.  If not, here's some useful
information.  This is the one and only fund raiser of the year for The
Baltimore Amateur Radio Club (www.baltarc.com). The Hamboree's web  
site is
www.gbhc.org.

ABOUT THE EMAIL LIST WE USED
A word about why we're sending this to you: We would be happy to remove
your name from our list if you simply reply and ask us to remove your
name.  You may have signed up through our web page, or by signing a  
request
for information at the minifest in January one of the last few
years.  Also, if you gave us your email address on the ticket stub,  
we used
that. As we stated above, we do not intend to send unwanted email, so if
you want to be taken off the list, just ask us and we'll do it.  We  
NEVER
share our email list with anyone, and we send about half a dozen  
messages a
year to it, at the most.

THE HAMBOREE March 25-26
The Hamboree at Timonium is coming up March 25th-26th. We still have  
plenty
of tickets for tailgating and we have plenty of indoor sales space.   
If you
plan to tailgate, please order your tickets in advance to be sure you  
are
not disappointed, in case we sell out again.   Sunday, we will have  
tickets
available for tailgating at the gate.  Saturdays have sold out a few  
times
in the last few years, but Sunday should have accommodation for  
everyone.

Indoor spaces are available in all the buildings. If you wish to be  
located
in the same place as last year, simply mark your order to say that.

We accept credit cards via PayPal. To order with this service, click to
http://www.gbhc.org/onlineorder.htm.  Please note, we do add a small
service charge to cover the extra fees it costs us to provide this
service.  To provide notes or additional information, please use the
shipping instructions field on the PayPal checkout screen.
