Please bring a dessert to share. Homemade or store-bought are both fine. The club will provide coffee and setups.

Please go through your junk boxes, junk closets, junk garages and junk sheds for anything you can donate that then can be sold at our traditional auction benefiting the club treasury. Whether it’s directly ham related or something that hams can always use, clean it up and bring it along.

By Friday, November 19, please determine how many in your group will be coming and so advise Rick Westerfield KH2DF. r_lweSterfield@bellsouth.net or 318-393-8244. Rick will pass the total number on to Shane’s to insure that we have the right size room.
