This annual event replaces the December business meeting, allowing time for presenting awards which might include
NOARS Ham of the Year, DX'er of the Year, Public Service awards, and President's awards for outstanding efforts made throughout the
year, as well as the introduction of the newly elected officers for the coming year.
There are a few door prizes each
year and a raffle for a Christmas basket.
We look forward to seeing you all there next year! Come on out, have a good time, and see some of the people that you just talk to
on the air waves. This Holiday Banquet is held on the first Saturday of December each year.
