09/17/00 Fest UPDATE (4):

Please download, or print out this chart of the area surrounding Rock Hall.

It will be safe to have it with you as the area is VERY Shallow in many spots.

Nancy has also supplied us with a location for additional maps to be downloaded and printed if you would like.

09/17/00 Fest UPDATE (3):

There Phone number for emergencies only:
Rock Hall Landing Marina - - - 410-639-2224

Phone number at the Condo - - - 410-639-7486
(Peter/Nancy/Cas/Claudia will be staying there Friday night to Sunday morning--it will be the place to
hang out when not on the boats)

Molters and Peter/Nancy will bring all the community food for
the weekend (except for Friday night dinner).

Bring what you want to drink, and we can keep it in the Molter's
big cooler at the condo. We'll split the cost of the food. Last
year it came to about $13.00 per person for the weekend.

PLEASE PRINT OUT THE ABOVE TELEPHONE NUMBERS AND BRING WITH YOU!

 

09/17/00 Fest UPDATE (2):

There will be internet access via the Villa Nancy is renting at the Marina. One PC will be located there for misc stuff, and for communicating to the
Forum with folks that can't make the Fest. There is a telephone for local and 800# calls available there also.

The PC has an internet connection via CompuServe 800 WATS which is not free. If anyone would like to donate their local internet connection for the duration of the Fest in order to minimize online costs ($6.00/HR), it would be appreciated. Anyone in the local area that has an Internet service provider that offers dial in via the Rock Hall area would be a prime candidate. Additionally, anyone with access via any other service provider (other than AOL) that has a local dial up number in Rock Hall would also be of support. Please post a message in the forum if you are willing to help.

Like last year, we would like to have a time where we can set up a chat. If you have any comments or suggestions post a message on the forum in the thread on the VicFest!
