Thank you and Have a great Holiday Season! All who showed up for the Potluck and gift exchange sure had a great time! Representatives for  the Panhandle of Florida were all present from Playground Amateur Radio Club, North Okaloosa Amateur Radio Club, Walton County Amateur Radio Club, Okaloosa County ARES, Walton County ARES, Walton County CERT, and the Northern Florida Amateur Radio Relay League Assistant Section Manager!

Hats off to the creator and officiator of the event, the Playground Amateur Radio Club’s very own Activities Director, KQ4FRB! Queenie has been a ham less than a year but has become one of the Clubs strongest supporters and promoters. She worked hand in hand with the other clubs and organizations listed above to plan a date and coordinate all of the food, drinks, prizes, giveaways, and raffle items! This is an annual event and is one not to be missed! We will see which Club or Organization hosts next years! Stay tuned to you favorite ham Calendar with the Playground Amateur Radio Club for future events and more partnerships in Northwest Florida!
