From the President: Holiday Party

Hello All,

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended our club holiday party last night. I also want to thank John KD9KSH for setting up a great party. John has put in hours of planning, preparation, and probably tears to make his efforts look easy. I assure you this isn’t the case. Making a task look easy is key to having a relaxing, fun event for everyone attending. Thanks again, John!

At the party the club was awarded a Certificate of Appreciation for our support of the SATERN program. This is a two-way program as the club also benefits from the SATERN program. SATERN provides trained emergency operators and opportunities for hams to put their skills to good use.

I am honored, humbled, and embarrassed to have received multiple awards last night. Many people enjoy being noticed and appreciated. They use this as motivation and affirmation of their efforts. Of course, I’m not in the majority. I am motivated by the response of the people I’m helping. A smile and a thank you are reward enough for me, but thank you again for last night’s recognition.

Congratulations to all of the raffle winners. You all have very unique gifts that may not be something you need (except the 2019 ARRL Periodical CD). Feel free to trade with other hams for something more suited to your needs. If you enjoyed the prizes let us know; maybe next year we can have some hotel bacon and a furry toilet seat to raffle off!

Most of all I want to thank all of the club members who made the trek to the Lucky Monk to share stories, spread gossip, and just have in-person fun. All of us are the club; there is always room on a plaque or an award for you. Just share an idea, help by volunteering for an event, or plan a party. I found myself looking around the room at various tables and thinking about how this strange group of people from different backgrounds, upbringings, and professions seemed to have one thing in common, they like to talk, with or without radios!

Thank you all for your vote of confidence and I will try not to disappoint you.

73, Don
KD9NJR

Holiday Party

Once again it is time to hold our Holiday Party after a long absence due to the threat of covid. The Holiday Party is a wonderful time for SARC members to have an evening out with our friends, wives or someone you know who is interested in becoming a ham radio operator. We can expect an evening of good conversation, great food, and much laughter in a relaxed atmosphere. Please mark you calendar for Saturday, January 21st to reserve this date for the SARC gathering. All club members are encouraged to attend and enjoy an evening of fun. This event takes the place of the January club meeting.

The Lucky Monk is providing a private room for SARC and the club has again graciously agreed to supply the appetizers. The meals and drinks will be the responsibility of those attending with the Lucky Monk providing some excellent menu choices. The party will start at 6:00PM.

SARC will use this opportunity to announce the Bill Smeed (K9IIM) construction project award and also name the Member of the Year.

This is one event you do not want to miss as the club really comes together and presents the opportunity to talk and meet with other club members. Everyone has the opportunity to sit down and get to know people they may have met on the air waves but never met in person. At the last Holiday Party many folks attended alone and had a great time talking with others who had the same interests.
