Every year, we hold our Christmas Banquet in the early part of December. It is a well-attended event, with awards given and lot’s joking around. It is usually held at a local restaurant or banquet facility. You can check-out the past December & January editions of our newsletter to get an idea of what goes on at this annual event. Below are some pictures and highlights of the 2021 Christmas Banquet.
Rick has been our MC for a number of years and he always keeps us laughing at what might come next at each Christmas Banquet.

A special award (at Left) was given to Vice President Mark Lipp for his outstanding contributions to our club last year and of course we can’t leave out his wife Jane, she was there at our field regularly especially at our major events helping with food preparation and whatever needed to be done.
The other key award (at Right) given out each year, is our traveling perpetual trophy. This year it went to Dan Avilla for his long-range strategic planning and thinking about where our club should be headed in the future. Dan is an “At Larger Member” of Directors and came regularly to our board meetings and gave us very timely inputs and ideas.
These awards were the highlight of the banquet. There were some other awards given out as well by our yearly Master of Ceremonies Rick Nichols.
