Hello Friends of CRA,

I would like to thank all the folks who helped with the club events this year.

It is very enjoyable to work with such a great group.

We have had our regular events, the 2025 hamfest, field day, the Lebanon parade, Turkey Trot, and recently, the significant grunt work that we did for Karen, the widow of a very prolific equipment collector. 

She was in a quandary of what to do with all the gear, thinking that she needed to pay people to throw it all in a dumpster.  Once we had a look at some of the historic items in the lot, we did a huge effort to get it all under one roof, organize it, and had 2 mini-hamfest/estate sales to move the equipment into caring hands.  We also provided some income for the club, and for her.  All told, we brought in $4000, split with her.  So, a good windfall for all parties.  The club members who donated their time and muscles helped the club and Karen.

So, thanks again, I hope that everyone has great holidays.  I will see you at the January banquet.

73, K3SLJ
Len Smetona
