2016 Holiday Dinner attendees braved single-digit temperatures for a night of fun.
Update: A small, but friendly, group braved the frigid temperatures for an evening of fun and camaraderie. Business was conducted, including a “state of the club” address by Dunnigan, K1DUN. New and old officers were voted in as follows: President: Dunnigan, K1DUN, Vice President/Secretary: Becky, KD0AOE, and Treasurer: Joe, WT0C. A big thanks to Joe and our Membership Chairman, Mike, KA6YFB, for their long-running and continued service to the club. We’d be lost without them! Glenn, WN0EHE, our president for over 20 years, will be sorely missed, but we thank Dunnigan for stepping up to take on the mantle of leadership. Glenn was voted President Emeritus.
“Santa” Joe made sure everyone went home with a stocking stuffer (or two)!
After club business was conducted, “Santa” Joe (WT0C) made sure everyone, including club members and guests, received a little something for their stockings. It is a long-standing tradition of the Holiday dinner, enjoyed by all.
Thanks to all who attended, we will see you next year!
