The 2026 WCRA Christmas Party will be held once again this year on December 6th and 4:00 PM at Coopers Corner Restaurant, 27W150 Roosevelt Rd. Winfield, IL 60190. The Restaurant is located on Roosevelt Road just west of County Farm Road on the north side of Roosevelt.
The Club will once again pay for your entree. When you are seated you will be furnished a specially prepared menu and you may select your meal then. We are following the same formula that we have used in the past. Or if it isn’t broken don’t fix it.
Each of you will be responsible for your own beverage including your adult beverage, pop, coffee, tea or other drinks and dessert if you so desire to have one.
So here is the difficult part for you humans, I need to have you RSVP by December 1st so that I can alert the restaurant as to how many meals to plan for.
I would like all of you to send me an email to Don giving your name and the names of those in your party. Please include any comments or questions you may have and I will get back to you shortly.
So to review the Club Christmas Party will be December 6th at 4PM at Coopers Corner Restaurant in Winfield, IL. Please RSVP by Dec. 1st.
The WCRA Board and the huge Christmas Party planning committee hope that all of you will be able to attend and enjoy the fellowship of fellow members and friends and family. Bring an empty stomach.

At First Glance
Wheaton Community Radio Amateurs, Inc. was founded in 1948. We are a group of amateur radio operators who promote the advancement of the hobby and science of amateur radio through:
- member participation in training and testing of new amateur operators;
- providing local communications infrastructure via repeaters;
- supporting local emergency services with secondary communications;
- and offering communications support for many local charitable and social groups.
WCRA is involved in all facets of Amateur Radio, supporting the healthy growth of the hobby through diversification and participation. If this sounds like a group you’d be interested in joining, then come to one of our events or meetings and see what kind of folks we really are.
Our Mission Statement
The mission of the Wheaton Community Radio Amateurs is to further the art of radio communications and electronics by mentoring anyone with like interests, participating in community events, preparedness in assisting in the event of a disaster where other communication modes can fail, while promoting social camaraderie among its members.
