    All,

    Please mark it on your calendar, the 2025 RRVARC Christmas Party will be on Friday, December 5, 1800-2000 (6pm-8pm for Mark).  The location will be Magel’s Grill (3805 NE Loop 286, Paris, TX 75460).  Ugly sweaters/tops are optional but encouraged, and each person will be able to order from the menu and will be responsible for their own charges.  If you want to look at their menu it is available at this link (here).  The year before last we had a good Christmas Party there, with great video support from Jerry, but the staff had forgotten we were coming and they were very short-handed.  We are making sure that does not happen this year and are encouraging them to make sure and have it properly staffed for the anticipated 30 attendees.  We may send out an RSVP to try and nail the number down a little better, but that figure is ballpark what we usually have.  We hope to see all of you there and to have a big time!

    All,

    We had a great time at the Christmas party on Friday, December 5th.  My count was 32 people, but we didn’t have a log so I may be off by 1-2.  We had a nice time visiting with each other, Magel’s had two young ladies helping us and they did a great job!  There were five all electronic multimeters given out by drawing and the party culminated in Club President Mark Johnson (W5PTX) giving long-time Club member Johnny Thomas (WB5JT) an award as the Club Member of the Year 2025.

    If you didn’t make it you missed a great time.  Please try and join us next year if you can.  Thanks to everyone who did come, for making it a memorable get together.
