Y'all come View Larger Map Holiday PartyThe ever-exciting, raucous, festive, delightful and delicious QSY Holiday Party will be held on Saturday, December 15, 5-8pm at the East Fishkill Community Center,(really!) The Community Center is located at 890 Route 82, Hopewell Junction. Come with your spouse or significant other, or even just a friend! It's certain to be a treat when everyone pitches in to bring delicious platters of food and drink, and musicians need not audition to perform. Dancing elves, however, must sign a waiver guaranteeing they will not be disrespectful! On the serious side, share the true spirit of the holiday by bringing an unwrapped non-violent toy, to be contributed to Toys for Tots. Come on now ... mark it now on the calendar, and I promise not to ever send any emails that emit holiday tunes! very 73, Shirley N2SKP in Saturday's (11/03) Poughkeepsie Journal.

Bill KC2LIX put in a strong pitch for earning a license, which was also contained in a letter that was given to each of the boys. Thank You! to the Amateur radio operators who were involved with this event, and helped create an awareness and interest in ham radio.
