The PAPA Palm Desert Luncheon
was held on Saturday February 3, 2024
New year, new venue! Our latest Palm Desert Luncheon was held at the Mega Cafe in Palm Desert. We were provided an excellent area with plenty of room for the 38 PAPA friends and members in attendance. The food and service were also excellent, making for a very pleasant event.
Craig Lala, KE6AMD won the raffle and selected the MITY GoBox with 28W solar panel… Congrats Craig!
