James W. Marshall discovered gold in 1848 on the South Fork of the American River in the valley the Nisenan Indians knew as Cullumah (beautiful valley). This event led to the greatest mass movement of people in the Western Hemisphere and was the spark that ignited the spectacular growth of the West during the ensuing decades. The gold discovery site, located in the still visible tailrace of Sutter's sawmill in present day Coloma, California, is one of the most significant historic sites in the nation.

Everyone who attended our annual holiday dinner had a good time. We had a great turnout at the Lions Club and shared some great food. Some lucky people left with some new radio gear or goodies. We hope everyone has a great holiday season and look forward to seeing everyone in January 2026. Don't forget to check into the nets.
We ran into a scheduling issue for our meeting, and we were not able to use the conference room. We didn't have any of our programs. We were able to share some donuts and chat with each other and have a raffle. We did conduct the election for the 2026 year. Thank you to our new club officers.
