Ray will be leaving the Edmonton area in the next while to make a home in BC. Ray has put many years into the ham community in many clubs. There has been an appreciation dinner organized for this coming Saturday.

Date: Saturday May 4, 2019
Time: Meet at 16:30, dinner at 17:00

Menu: Seafood buffet with an Alberta beef carving station (menu attached)
Cost (per person): $28+tax+gratuity , seniors (55+) – $22+tax+gratuity

The room we have booked has space to accommodate 40, but we can spill over into the main dinning room if there are more. Please note, that to be fair, should there be more than 40 attendees, seating preference will be given to those that have RSVP’d, and those had submitted an expression of interest. 

Please RSVP by filling out the RSVP form:

NOTE: This is not an NCAARC organized event.

A friendly reminder that the monthly meeting this month will be our Annual General Meeting. Saturday March 16 at 9:30 AM at St. Albert Fire Station Number 3.

Please come out and support your club. This meeting elects your board members for the upcoming year. Please consider tossing your name into the ring to fill a board position as a lot of the positions have been filled by the same people year over year.

Oh and did I mention….. We have door prizes this year. To qualify for a door prize you must be a member in good standing and you must be in attendance at the meeting. If your membership has lapsed you can renew before the meeting via E-Transfer or you can renew at the meeting before the meeting starts.
