General Club Meeting – September 20, 2019

Last month we showed some video highlights of the Dayton Hamvention in May 2019. We had planned on showing a video that covered many more of the show, but because of a few “technical difficulties”, the one we started to show was for a previous year. So this month we got it right and we will be showing this video. Hopefully you will join us. Bring your own popcorn!

SBARC Summer Potluck Barbecue – September 15th 2019

stowgroveYou are invited to join us for a good old fashioned summertime potluck barbecue. SBARC will host this years get-together at Stow Grove Park on La Patera Lane in Goleta just before it intersects Cathedral Oaks Rd. We will be in Area 2, the same location as last year. This once-a-year SBARC event will be held on September 15, 2019, from 9:30 AM until 2:30 PM. 

After last years success, we decided to keep the same format this year. SBARC will supply delicious 1/3 lb. hamburgers and cheeseburgers with all the fixings for all SBARC members and their immediate families. For non-members, burgers will be $5 each. You are welcome to bring your own beverages and we will have cold sodas and water available for $1.

Since this is a potluck, we are encouraging everyone to bring something to share. You can bring a salad, potato chips, beans, hot dish, cookies or other desert, whatever you like and whatever you have time for.

We hope you will join us for a relaxing meal and take the time to catch up with old friends. Of course, we can always use a little help setting things up before the event and cleaning things up afterwards. If you have a little time we would surely appreciate your help.

Hope to see you there!
