Club Dinner: Sunday, September 26 at 6pm

It is again time for us to meet at Garibaldi’s Italian Eatery to enjoy dinner, discussions with other hams, and an evening with friends.   Please reserve the evening of September 26th for our annual time to meet, eat, and talk.
We have reserved space beginning at 6:00 PM on Sunday, Sept. 26th at:
Garibaldi’s Italian Eatery
2346 West Higgins Road
Hoffman Estates, IL
We will each be responsible for ordering and paying for our own dinner as in the past.
Anyone can attend whether a club member or not so feel free to bring the spouse, partner, or friend.  If you know anyone interested in Ham Radio, or SARC, this would be a great time for them to meet with our club members.   This is a very casual event where we get the chance to relax and have some fun for a couple of hours.
I look forward to seeing you on the 26th,
