Come one, come all to TARC’s SECOND annual BBQQ. This BarBeQue & Qso event should be an interesting afternoon for members and their significant others out in the Florida sunshine at the Oscar Sherer State Park in Osprey.

The event is scheduled for Sunday, March 24th at 1:30pm in a very nice open area at the park.
TARC has an area reserved that includes covering and a double wide charcoal grill. There is plenty of
open space and picnic tables for setting up POTA stations under the club’s call W4AC. Perfect for our
needs.

A $12/person fee is requested. Please get the fee to our treasurer, Frank W2XYZ, as soon as possible. Our
goal is to have 60 people in attendance. Watch for further announcements via groups io and our website.
TARC Grill Masters will be cooking up pork and beef over charcoal with some wood smoke flavor
included. No inferior tube steaks or burgers for this crowd!

There is a $5 per car entry fee for your vehicle. The State Park Service is offering 1/2 off annual pass card until January 13th. Visit any park entrance or ranger station or go online to get one:

The BBQQ will be a pot luck affair for the other dishes except TARC will be providing water and some
ice. We would like each member to bring an item or two including:
 Coleslaw
 Potato salad
 Macaroni salad
 Baked beans
 Garden salad
 Cookies
 Brownies
 Chips (potato, corn, tortilla)
 Ice (enough for yourself and some to share)
 Beverages (bring a few extra and throw them into the common ice, beer and wine OK)
 A roll of paper towels
 One trash bag
 Portable folding table if you have one.

As the date gets closer to March 24th a call may go out for specific foods and items if need be.
This is shaping up to be a fun time!! Questions can be sent to Tom Porada W4IEE, tom@porada.com.
