The 2008 Arcadia Hamfest was a great success. The attendance was up by about 15 percent from last year. Everyone enjoyed the breakfast and the comrodary. The flee market was large and many great deals were made.

I am also happy to announce that Joe Dutka, W4ZEY of Ft. Myers was our Grand Prize winner.

This 40 foot fold-over tower was donated to the DeSoto branch of the American Red Cross by David Burnett, KG4CWP.

The officers and members would like to thank all that attended and look forward to seeing you again next year.
