Joint TAPR/AMSAT Banquet at Dayton 2007
For many years, AMSAT and TAPR have held "competing" Hamvention dinners on Friday evening. Given the tremendous overlap in membership and interest between the two groups, this has always required tough choices. We're pleased to announce that this year, AMSAT and TAPR will be holding a joint dinner, and it will be at a great venue -- the Air Force Museum.
Here are the details:
"Dinner Under the Wings" will be held Friday evening May 18, 2007 at the Air Force Museum. The doors open at 18:00 with a cash bar and appetizers in the Air Power Gallery (World War II). The buffet dinner will be served at 19:00 in the Cold War area. Following a few announcements and a short presentation you will be free to roam the museum.
Price for the dinner is $35.00 per person and includes appetizers, salad, meal, dessert, coffee, iced tea, tax and gratuity.
See http://afmuseum.com/ or http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/ for information about the museum.
The museum will close at 22:00 and everyone must be out of the museum by then.
Reservations are required and can be purchased from TAPR -- go to http://www.tapr.org/dayton.html for more details. There will be no ticket sales at the TAPR booth this year, and sales will close on Monday
night, May 14, 2007 to allow us to give the museum a count on Tuesday.
Prior to the banquet at 5 p.m. Friday there will be a special showing of the IMAX movie "Space Station". This movie is approximately 47 minutes long and contains about 4 minutes of amateur radio contacts between school children and the International Space Station. The IMAX theater is located in the museum building off the main lobby area. Attendees at the movie will be able to go to the banquet at 6 p.m. when the doors open about 10 minutes after the movie is over. The lobby contains restrooms, telephones and some seating.
At least 50 people must sign up for the movie in advance. Reservations are required -- to place yours, call the museum IMAX theater on (937)-253-IMAX. Adults are $6.00, seniors are $5.50, and students 8
through college 22 (student ID required) are $4.50.
