Fall Dinner Anyone?

Fall Dinner or Holiday Meal:

Be sure to contact our club President Pat Regan, KD7TFD at  hjfinaz@yahoo.com .  He would like to know if club members would like to get together for a fancy sit down dinner or maybe a catered dinner at a Rec Hall.  This dinner would not be sponsored by the WVARC, but instead will be paid for by each individual.  Anyone interested in coordinating an event, speak with Pat.
