The evening activities were opened by Pres. Bill W1KKF on December 15, 2006.
 
After a round of introductions, the 40 members and guests enjoyed a culinary feast orchestrated by our own chief chef John K1VDF and his able staff. Arrays of fine desserts were provided by many of the attendees. The near Spring like weather conditions were a pleasant contrast to last years 6 to 10 inch snow storm.
 
Following the satisfying repast, the business meeting began  The normal agenda was dispensed with exception of a successful motion to accept into membership Walt W1ATV and Mark K1MKF both of Meriden.
 
The 2007 MARC officers were introduced:
