Technically, it’s still after the holidays, so….it’s time to party.
Thanks to efforts by Molly, KN4GFN, we have a place for our After the Holidays Party. We’ll be dining at Bob Evan’s Restaurant at 2410 66th Street (corner of Tyrone & 66th). The date is Sunday, March 18 at 4:00PM. Dress is casual and everyone will be responsible for their own bill.
A signup sheet will be available at Friday’s club meeting, or email Bob, N2ESP you plan to attend. Hope to see you there.
Home Brew Night was a big hit with the near 50 SPARC members who turned out. An informative evening with 7 presenters and 8 projects shown/explained to those present.
