Club Christmas Party 2021 This year's club Christmas party was held at the Jade Garden restaurant right after the formal meeting adjourned. We followed our now traditional "white elephant gift" format where each person brings a wrapped, unmarked gift consisting of some type of radio related item that they had hanging around on their desk or in the junk box. It might be anything, and usually is, from a new radio, to an old set of computer speakers (which have been passed around for about the last ten years or so, I think. Those speakers seem to live longer than a fruitcake). |

^^^ Hmm... it looks like Paul, AB7XM standing at the left, is attempting to influence Deb KE7TMF, our ticket manager, into picking his number. Or not. Steve, WB7VEQ and John, KD7HGS, on the left side of the table, seem to be shoveling leftovers into containers for sneaking out after the party. Told ya there were some shifty folks around here. |

^^^ Well, it looks like Tony, KI7TMZ, found the radio. It remains to be seen whether it works or not. One never knows about these things when white elephants are involved. |

For some reason a lot of the pictures of this evening were too blurry to use, but we hope you got the idea that this is one of the best events we have all year. Please come down and help us make it even better next year. We'll be looking for you. Just don't bring any computer speakers, eh? :-) |
