The 7th Annual CCO Barbecue at VE3EJ's will be held on July 26 this year.

Date: Saturday 26th of July
Time: 3 PM
Place: VE3EJ QTH near Grassie

Menu and Pricing

The CCO BBQ has grown to the point where getting the food served in a timely manner after the business part of the meeting has become a bit of a chore. The CCO executive has decided that hiring a caterer for the occasion was warranted. The proposed menu will consist of:

Rolls & butter
Hamburger (vegiburger if you request)
Grilled chicken
Potato salad
Cole slaw
Italian pastries/squares
Coffee/Tea

With the improved service and extended menu comes increased cost. There will be a $15.00/head charge to cover the added expenses. This will however cover both the meal and one door prize ticket. We trust that the membership will understand and that this will not deter anyone from attending.

Please confirm your desire to attend. It is very important that we get an accurate head count to allow the caterers every opportunity to prepare with the right amount of food. We would hate to see anyone go hungry as a result of not indicating their intention to show up. Please send an email to ve3ej at rac.ca if you plan to come.

Tickets

As every year, manufacturers and suppliers have shown astounding support for CCO by contributing generously to make our annual door prize draw a success. This year, we have assembled over $3,000 in prizes (yes, that's not a misprint!) for lucky CCO members!

Tickets are $5 each, or 3 for $10, and are available now! If you plan on attending the BBQ, we will be there selling tickets. If you cannot attend, you can buy tickets via PayPal (ve3cr at rac.ca), or by sending a cheque (made out to CCO) or greenstamps to VE3CR's callbook address.

Remember, CCO doesn't ask for any membership fees - the door prize draw is the only fund-raising activity that CCO conducts, and funds everything that the club does to benefit amateur radiosport, in Ontario and around the world. If you're going to be there, please buy as many tickets as you can. If you can't make it, please consider ordering some tickets anyway, to support the club's activities and potentially win a great prize.
