Christmas Dinner – 2023

Mike Dugger – K6AAN – President LARC

We will be doing our Christmas Dinner meeting at the Hollywood Cafe, 315 S. Cherokee Ln., Lodi on December 7, 1730-2030 hrs. This will be a completely private party and we will have exclusive use of the entire restaurant.

Dinner reservations are available for purchase online. They are $44 per person for everyone attending. The price includes all costs including the tip, and a drawing ticket for the door prizes. Cash or checks for the dinner will be accepted at the meeting on Nov. 2. Reservations can also be purchased by mailing a check in to the club PO Box. All reservations must be paid in advance, no last minute purchases will be allowed at the door. Attendance is limited to 45 persons at this time, although we can expand that number later on if there is a need to do so.

The menu will be as follows: Tri-tip with burgundy peppercorn sauce, mashed potatoes, green salad, bread and butter, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for desert. Soft drinks and coffee are also included. Alcoholic beverages will be available at additional cost.

We are planning to have a few door prizes available, with the grand prize to be a Yaesu FT-5DR handheld radio with accessories! Each person will receive a drawing ticket for the door prize drawing when they arrive that evening.

White Elephant Gift Exchange!

Wikipedia states: A white elephant gift exchange Yankee swap or Dirty Santa^[ is a party game where amusing and impractical gifts are exchanged during festivities. The goal of a white elephant gift exchange is to entertain party-goers rather than to gain a genuinely valuable or highly sought-after item.

If you would like to participate in the exchange, please bring a wrapped gift around 15 dollars to the dinner. The Gifts will be exchanged in a fun filled game for everyone.
