This year’s Newport County Radio Club year-end party
was a big hit. The event was held at the Hometown
Tavern restaurant in Warren, RI. The food and beverages
were fantastic as were all the events & presentations.
Newly elected NCRC President, John Vecoli was there
first to greet all arriving guests. Exiting club president
Nancy Austin was honored with several award
presentations for all the good work and accomplishments
she’s achieved on behalf of the club. A traditional Yankee
Swap provided laughter and entertainment for all. Now, on
to 2024. Happy New Year!

End of Year Party – Monday Dec 14 @ 7 PM

Posted on by

The NCRC annual year-end party will be held via ZOOM on December 14th at 7 PM (our usual 2nd Monday meeting time).  Our business meeting will be VERY short, just long enough to vote on 3 new member applicants and update the membership on our ongoing fundraiser for repeater repair. Once that meeting closes, the fun begins.

We will have a review of what was accomplished in 2020 (an significant amount considering the pandemic touched every part of our activities), and a peaceful, non-controversial transition of power to the new leadership team. The party will wrap up with an online treasure hut with prizes (Nice HF antenna, memberships, T-shirts and others) for those that find the most items in their home.

So please plan on joining us Monday at 7 PM.  Silly sweaters or other holiday attire are encouraged, along with liquid libation and meals/snacks per your liking.
