WHEN: Thursday, September 17, 2026 Appetizers & face-to-face QSOs at 6:00 PM Featured Presentation: Letchworth State Park — A Natural Wonder Prepare to be wowed! This year's featured presenter is Matt Nusstein, Director of the Humphrey Nature Center at Letchworth State Park — and his presentation is something truly special.

His passion for the natural world is contagious — trust us, you will want a front-row seat for this one! The banquet is also our beloved opportunity to shine a spotlight on the outstanding volunteers who make RaRa great. Each year we recognize our Public Service Member of the Year, Club Service Award recipient, and other special honorees. Who will it be this year? Attend the banquet and find out first! As always, we have fun planned beyond the dinner plate! Expect a raffle with prizes that appeal to hams and non-hams alike, plus a special memento for every attendee.

This year we are proud to bring you to Agatina's
Restaurant at 2967 Buffalo Road, Rochester — widely regarded as one of the finest Italian restaurants in the greater Rochester area.
With a reputation for outstanding cuisine and warm hospitality, Agatina's is the perfect setting for an evening of celebration and camaraderie.
However, this choice of venue comes with one important catch: seating is strictly limited to just 50 guests. Once those tickets are gone,
they are gone — so do not wait!
Known as the "Grand Canyon of the East,"
Letchworth State Park is one of the most celebrated state parks in the entire country, drawing nearly 1 million visitors each year. Matt
will take us on a journey through the natural history of this breathtaking place — from the glaciers and ancient rocks that shaped
the landscape to the remarkable plants and animals that call it home. Whether you have hiked every trail at Letchworth or have never set
foot in the park, this is a presentation that will leave you seeing it with fresh eyes.The Rochester Amateur Radio Association, Inc. is a 501(c)3 Educational Corporation Information Contact: webmaster@rochesterham.org |
