Watts Up This Week
November 5, 2025 The holiday season has begun and we’re underway planning the SFARC Annual Christmas Party and we’d LOVE your involvement in this years event!
You’re invited to this Thursday’s (11/6) planning meeting on Zoom @ 6PM. We’ll talk about all things Christmas Party — we want your input! Many hands make lite work.
For those who are new to SFARC, the Christmas Party is a night of fun that includes:
- SFARC Year In Review (Slideshow)
- The honorable “Golden Brick” achievement award
- WA6E’s Stand Up Routine / Trivia 🙂
- Appointment of 2026 SFARC Officers
- Great stories and food!
RSVP NOW for the Christmas Party @ https://www.w6ek.org/rsvp
We’ve received a number of questions regarding whether there is a cost for club members.
Although the tradition of Christmas potlucks predates my time with the club, I’ve heard many fond stories about them. Potlucks are always fun—and we’ve enjoyed several this year—but a few years ago, the club made the shift to a catered meal for our holiday celebration. As you’re aware, prices for just about everything have been rising. For the past couple of years, SFARC has covered the full cost of this event.
Currently, the meal cost per guest is roughly equal to a full year’s membership dues. If a member brings a guest, that’s essentially two years’ worth.
To help offset these costs, I’ve made the difficult decision to request a $10 per-guest fee this year (paid at the door). This contribution will help cover the cost of dinner and prizes, ensuring we can continue hosting a festive, memorable celebration.
Thank you for your continued support of SFARC.
