>Now on Fri. at 7PM, all QRPers meet by the main Registration Table at the
>Hotel, and we will then go to the Chili's Restaurant diagonally across the
>I35/Hwy 183 intersection to the South East of the Hotel, for dinner and
>prizes.  Please email me if you are coming to the dinner, so that I may give
>the restaurant a head count.  Menu is everything from Sandwiches to Seafood,
>Beef to Chicken, and desserts.  Dutch Treat, of course.  (You thought AQRP
>had a treasury?  We don't really have a treasurer, but thanks to Ed Popp for
>making a table happen somehow each year!)
>
>Additional info on access to Chilis from the frontage roads of 183:
>Today, I checked and found out they now have a sign on the 183 frontage
>road.  If you come from the West on 183, exit for I35 N, in order to get on
>the lower level frontage road.  Continue East under I35, and immediately
>watch for a sign for Hampton Inn and Chilis just beyond the corner.  Turn in
>there to get to Chilis.  If coming from the North on I 35, you could exit
>for 183 East, (which may also be marked for Hwy 71, or Bergstrom Airport).
>Go past the hotel thru the light, turning left and watch for the sign on the
>right and turn in for Chili's.  That saves going to the St. John's cross
>over mentioned in early posts.
>
>Hope to see you all Fri. Nite!
>72,
