I can't wait until I retire and can join you.  This leave the house at 5AM and home at 5PM is for the birds.

It seems that we have a secret lunch group meeting going on in Calvert

County these days. For those that believe that, please pardon me, I accept

full responsibility.

Let me explain, A few years ago myself, Dennis N3QHC, and Steve N3IDX would

go to breakfast a few times a week, after Dennis started working at Sneads

breakfast was not as easy to do; thus, we started going to Lunch on

Wednesdays, his day off. Everyone was invited; by invitation on the

repeater(2 meter)  as we headed to a place to eat  (changed weekly). Due to

spending a long time at the table after eating, it was suggested (Dennis)

that we pick up lunch and eat at Mt Hope radio room, we could stay as long

as we wanted. People we also invited to this, via repeater, Word of mouth,

and emails.... Most were members of CARA, but not all, everyone was welcome.

We eventually ran into difficulty in using the store room at Mt Hope, CARA

was given a standing offer of a room to eat lunch in at 12:00, ( That may be

when it became official as ARAR signed for a room) everyone was still

welcome. Somehow this seemed to be a sanctioned lunch event by CARA, and

that's great. As far as I know that room and Lunch is still available to

CARA members at Mt Hope. There are some of us that (myself included) that

wish to travel around the area and take lunch in different spots, this is

Semi- Organized (half assed), also open to everyone. The emails to a lunch

location were to retired Hams in Calvert County, not a sponsored, sanctioned

CARA event. Most of the group are CARA members, the list grows each month,

because when we came up with a place, " it states invite or bring a friend".

There are some that were not included on this list, because they had told me

before they don't want to go to a restaurant for lunch, for not including

them I do APPOLOGIZE.

We do not put this out on the reflector or the CARA web site. This being the

one time only in order to reach all CARA members and end the secret lunch

society innuendo. This is not a Sanctioned or Approved activity by CARA or

any organization, was not intended to be such an activity, just a place to

meet for lunch for those interested.

Anyone that would like to get an email for this lunch group please let me

know, by email k3uga at comcast.net; by phone 410 257 5355 and leave a message,

by eyeball  to eyeball contact. I will surely add you to the current list.

Anyone that would likewise be taken off the list, same procedure.  Be

advised this is not official and sometimes the email is very late. We are

not sponsored by any restaurant, we don't make reservations usually, but if

we do, it's not CARA, it's the person making the reservations name.

To date we have 15 , and about 3 to 6 show up most times, very occasionally

all, spouses are invited to attend. There are no "Pissing Contests" and no

(any club) business discussed at the table. We try to move around the County

so it makes it easier for those that live North or South. The activity

includes many discussions, Ham radio stuff and gay banter; drinking is not

mandatory, although sometimes encouraged. The group is listed in my outlook

as Calvert Retired Hams Group the V-card is attached; and like I said ask

and you will be included/

Cara sponsored Lunch is still ongoing at Mt Hope, I believe, and sometimes

that is a spot that may be selected by the group to meet.

I am sorry for any confusion. Lunch was just something a few of us did to

pass the boredom of retirement, it was an original idea; which am the only

original member. I am glad that many liked the idea and wished to continue

it, but it was not conceived as a Club, ARES or RACES thing, just lunch.

PS I actually liked it much better when it was a breakfast thing, as it made

me get up in the morning and start my day!

Disclaimer //// I am, nor  ever was an English Language major, or minor. I R

a Communicator, by hobby.  If you have a problem with my spelling, hanging

participles and such, please bring it up at this coming lunch as I am always

eager to learn something.

Thank you for your time,

73, Jim Tetlow, k3uga
