FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The SOUTHWEST OHIO DX Association (SWODXA) is pleased to again sponsor the DX Dinner ™, held in conjunction with the 2011 Dayton Hamvention®. The dinner will be held on Friday, May 20, 2011. This year the dinner will be at the Dayton Marriott, 1414 S. Patterson Blvd., Dayton, OH 45409. MAP

We are excited about our new venue. It is less than five minutes from our previous location, has a much larger capacity, and the dining room is on the ground floor so there are no steps. There is ample, free, on-site parking.

As in the past, there will be some major door prizes. And there is always great anticipation as to who will be named the “DXpedition of the Year”. Program details and a list of the prizes will be available soon at www.swodxa.org or www.swodxa.blogspot.com.

There will be a cash bar starting at 5:30 p.m., with dinner served at 7:00. Tickets are $40 each, payable in US funds. Sorry, we do not process Paypal or credit card payments. If a vegetarian meal is desired, it must be indicated when tickets are ordered. We attempt to honor group seating requests when tickets are ordered together. Each table seats ten, and seats are assigned as the requests are received. Check or money orders, payable to SWODXA, should be sent to Kirk Swallow, W8QID at 3137 Compton Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45251. Be sure to include a SASE for ticket return.

The Marriott is a large hotel with many room choices. Should you need accommodations, their phone number is 937 223-1000 or the website is http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/dayoh-dayton-marriott

Following the meal, there will be a separate room and cash bar available for more fellowship. This is an excellent opportunity to meet and renew old acquaintances. We look forward to seeing everyone at the DX Dinner™ at the Marriott and at Hamvention®. Good Dxing!
