The 2023 KARS Christmas party seemed to be another fun time for all who attended. We had 36 RSVPs but for various reasons only 29 attendees. It was held again this year at the Pipe Creek VFD community building. Tom (KI5KUI) & Marsh got the room all set up Wednesday morning and just waiting for the food & Guest to arrive Thursday about 6pm.

Turkey was provided by the club & cooked by Marsh, all the guests brought side dishes to complete the meal. Everything was great tasting and there was plenty to eat for everyone.

Four $25 gift certificates from DX engineering, provided by the club, were drawn for door prizes. Jesse Jarrell (W1BBT) was presented with a plaque for all his time & talent in taking over the club's WEB Master job from Al this year. He totally redesigned our web site and upgraded many functions of it.

Marsh (WA5UBO) was presented with a new state of the art safety helmet by Al K5NOF for all the many hours each year he has provided to the KARS club rebuilding the facilities & updating our two repeater sites to top notch commercial grade installations.

Thanks to all the members & their spouses who attended the party and had a great dinner and a good time.
