them. We will also use 441.325+/PL 100 Hz as an
alternate frequency.

| I will provide a final and hard copy list of volunteers on
the day of the event so you can have all of the call signs,

working at that location.

Dinner:
| I would be great if everyone
could plan on going out to eat dinner
after the event. I will locate a place we can go to after the event and spend the evening chatting,
relaxing and unwinding from day's riding. If you can't make
the dinner, please let me know.
