From: Tom Frenaye, K1KI – ARRL Director, New England Division

Hello,

This is my personal invitation to you to attend the 2014 ARRL National Centennial Convention, July 17-19 in nearby Hartford, Connecticut. Advance registration is recommended, and you may do so by visiting http://ARRL2014.org . I recommend that you register as quickly as possible.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to come together with other members and friends as we celebrate the very best of the ARRL and Amateur Radio. Already, registrations have been received from all 50 states and 22 countries. This will be a CELEBRATION to remember!

The event is being held at the Connecticut Convention Center in downtown Hartford, within arm’s reach of the picturesque Connecticut River. This is a handsome, modern facility where we’ll host all of the convention activities. A free shuttle connects many of downtown hotel options (visit http://ARRL2014.org for convention rates at nearby hotels). The convention center is handicap accessible.

On Thursday, July 17th, the ARRL Centennial Convention will feature all-day training tracks (advance registration is required). These workshops will be led by the top national-level trainers and experts in Amateur Radio. On Friday, July 18th, and Saturday, July 19th, the convention will feature a huge exhibit hall and 70+ hours of forums and special presentations. FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate, KK4INZ will give the keynote address at the Centennial Banquet on Friday night (over 600 have registered already!), and Nobel Prize Winner, Joe Taylor, K1JT, will speak Saturday at noon.

ARRL Headquarters in nearby Newington is rolling out the red carpet for all convention attendees. Shuttle buses will run attendees to ARRL HQ (about 15 minutes away) for tours of the main administrative building, grounds & antenna farm, and W1AW—the Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Station. If you’ve never visited 225 Main Street, now’s your chance!

Bring the entire family! We have tours planned on Friday and Saturday for spouses, companions or any family members who might not be interested in attending the convention activities. On Friday, a tour is planned of the Mark Twain House and Harriet Beecher Stowe Center; On Saturday, a visit to the Wadsworth Atheneum—the oldest public art museum in the US. These tours require convention registration. The Connecticut Science Center is next door to the convention center—and is offering half-price admission to all convention registrants and their families throughout weekend.

There’s so much planned I can’t begin to cover it all here. Please visit the official convention registration site to review the entire agenda: http://ARRL2014.org

Let’s make history! See you in Hartford!
