                         The Northern Ohio DX Association
                               Pre-Contest Luncheon

  Inspired by the Mansfield CQWW CW Pre-Contest Luncheon, and to celebrate
the end of winter, the Northern Ohio DX Association (NODXA) is proud to
announce the first of two "Pre-Contest Luncheons". All are invited, not
just NODXA members. The first luncheon will take place at noon on Friday,
March 28th, at:     Mulligan's Bar and Grille
                    20880 Royalton Rd (R82)
                    Strongsville, Ohio 4413
  Easy to get to -- Take west R82 exit off of I-71. The restaurant is about
                    3 miles west of I-71 on R82
                 -- Or a mile west of the Pearl Rd and Royalton Rd inter-
                    section which is the center of Strongsville
                 -- The restaurant is on the north side of the street and
                    Drug Mart is in the same shopping area.....

  Attendees will be ordering luncheon off the menu. The restaurant has a
variety of different foods -- daily specials, great burgers, salads,
pierogies, fish, chicken, steak....etc. (typical bar food)
  The purpose of the Luncheon is to relax, have a good luncheon (along with
some spirits), enjoy the camaraderie with Contester/DXers, as well as
sharing your thoughts/strategies for the upcoming contest......

  THIS IS IMPORTANT! "Please" let me know if you are coming. I need a head
count for the restaurant and I need it before Monday, March 24th. I will
announce in the coming weeks who will be attending. Since this is our first
event, we are not sure how many will be there. Let's hope for a great turn
out.
                 See you there.... 73, de Tedd KB8NW (NODXA President)
