2018 Holiday Party

 

The Anne Arundel Radio Club held it's annual Holiday party at Ford Hall on the grounds of the DFRC. Attendance was the highest in recent years due to the number of recent graduates of the fall tech class.

The menu included the standard slow roasted ham and turkey and other savory items that were followed by a wide selection of cakes, pies and cookies.
