WVARA does not have a monthly evening meeting in December. Instead, we have a Holiday Party.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
When:<\/strong><\/td>Noon to 3pm, Sunday December 7<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Where:<\/strong><\/td>Silicon Valley Red Cross Building outdoor patio<\/td><\/tr>
           <\/td>2731 N. First Street, at Plumeria Drive in San Jose<\/td><\/tr>
  <\/td>(The Red Cross building is on the southwest corner of that intersection. The patio is on the east, or First Street-facing, side. By parking on the building’s east side, you will have a short no-stairs walk to the patio.)<\/td><\/tr>
Who:<\/strong><\/td>Members, family and guests are all welcome to attend.<\/td><\/tr>
Weather:   <\/strong><\/td>Rain or shine. We will shift indoors to the Break Room \/ Kitchenette and Room 3 if it is inclement.<\/td><\/tr>
Bring:  <\/strong><\/td>Your own meat \/ main-dish items, and maybe a desert or side dish to share.<\/td><\/tr>
<\/td>Your own beverages, or a water bottle (we have access to the Red Cross\u2019s Break Room to refill). We will bring some bottled water from our “flea market horde” as well.<\/td><\/tr>
Available:  <\/strong><\/td>Hot charcoal and grilling utensils.<\/td><\/tr>
<\/td>AC outlets are in the Break Room just off the patio if you wish to plug in a hot plate or crock pots. Bring a long extension cord to reach out to the patio. (Crock pots filled with wonderful chili have been known to appear at past parties.)\u00a0<\/td><\/tr>
<\/td>A limited supply of disposable plates, cups, serving utensils, cutlery, and napkins (but it is a big help if you bring what you will need).<\/td><\/tr>
Drawings:<\/strong><\/td>The WVARA tradition of drawing for\u00a0Holiday\u00a0Door Prizes continues. Santa Claus has made arrangements for some great prizes this year!<\/td><\/tr>
<\/td>Another WVARA tradition involves those attending donating other interesting items they want to rehome.\u00a0If you have such items, at least tangentially radio-related, bring them: we keep drawing door prize tickets until everything is gone. This is a good chance to find a new home for things like gently used mag mounts that don\u2019t work on a vehicle with fiberglass body panels, USB-B cables or heliax that is just too awkward to carry on SOTA activations.<\/td><\/tr>
Eligibility:<\/strong><\/td>Every attending member in good standing (e.g. 2025 dues are paid) is eligible for the door prizes drawings (you must be present to win).<\/td><\/tr>
