John,

We're doing a contest dinner and hospitality suite at the Orlando 
HamCation again this year. Would you please forward to the ACG and SECC 
reflectors in case you have some members who might like to attend?

Dear Fellow Contesters,

It gives me great pleasure to announce the 2011 Florida Contest Group 
Orlando Contest Dinner and SuperSuite! Mark your calendars for Friday, 
February 11 and come to the Orlando HamCation, the Dayton of the 
Southeast, and make time after the hamfest closes on Friday night to 
come just five miles up the road for the 2011 FCG Contest Dinner and 
SuperSuite! Tickets for the Contest Dinner are only $20 and must be 
reserved in advance. Only 100 tickets are available so reserve early!

2009 YASME Excellence Award Winner Jamie Dupree, NS3T, has generously 
agreed to be our guest speaker for the 2011 Orlando Contest Dinner. 
Jamie will speak both about radio-sport.net <http://radio-sport.net> and 
about his day job as a Capitol Hill correspondent for Cox Radio. Doors 
open at 6:00pm for the Contest Dinner, and dinner is served at 6:30pm.

Your dinner ticket also serves as your raffle ticket for one of our 
fabulous prizes! Winning tickets will be drawn by our MC, K1TO, 
throughout the night. You must be present to win. Thanks to the 
generosity of our sponsors, domestic beer will be FREE during the 2011 
Orlando Contest Dinner and SuperSuite!

Following the Contest Dinner and NS3T's address, we will begin the 2011 
FCG SuperSuite! Come hoist a beverage of your choice and socialize with 
fellow contesters, and take on all comers in the CW and SSB pileup 
competition (with great prizes for the overall winners on each mode as 
well as the high score for a contester < 30 years of age and the high 
score for a contester licensed < 10 years)! Can't make it to the contest 
dinner? Come for the SuperSuite when the doors open to everyone at 8:00pm!

To order your ticket(s), please mail your cash, check, or money order to 
FCG Treasurer K4LQ at

Fred Perkins K4LQ
Treasurer - Florida Contest Group
3437 Lake Josephine Drive
Lake Placid, FL 33852

When he receives your ticket order, Fred will confirm receipt of your 
funds via email. Please include your callsign in the memo line of your 
check to simplify our bookkeeping. If paying by cash, please include a 
note with your name and callsign so we can reserve your place.

We must have a firm number of attendees for the caterer by February 4, 
so please allow sufficient time for your check to reach K4LQ's mailbox 
by then. From most parts of the country, mail postmarked January 31 or 
prior should be sufficient. If you cannot make it by 6:30 or are not one 
of the lucky 100 to receive tickets, please consider coming at 8:00 for 
the SuperSuite, when doors open to everyone.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

vy 73, and I look forward to seeing you at the 2011 FCG Orlando Contest 
Dinner and SuperSuite!
