Planning is underway for the NARS Annual Banquet for 2025. Our annual banquet is on the calendar for the third Friday in January 2026. We have begun looking for a venue for this traditional event. Past events have been held at Valley Ranch, Spring Creek Barbecue, and the Back Porch.
We are soliciting suggestions from the membership at large. If you have a favorite restaurant, let one of the officers know. The logistical requirements are for a venue with a meeting room large enough to accommodate 40 to 60 people and lcated in the NW Houston/Spring/Tomball/Klein area. As we have done for the past serveral years, ordering will be from the usual venue menu instead of a fixed menu and Dutch Treat - each member or family pays for their own dinner.
It is critical that we make a selection as soon as possible in order to secure the venue because we hava aspecific date requirement, January 16, 2025. If you can suggest more than one venue, please indicate first, second, and third choice.
Send your suggestions to Paul Owen, N5NXS at
