Instead of a meeting so close to the holidays we thought it might be fun for us to celebrate the holidays and all the good things we have been able to accomplish this past year. The idea is simple, we will meet at Kristie’s house in lieu of a meeting on December 21 at 7:00 p.m. to celebrate with some holiday cheer. Please bring an appetizer or treat to share.

In terms of service - we are sponsoring a family for this Christmas (single mother with 4 kids). Our club has donated a portion to purchase gifts for the kids, but to make it extra special we were thinking everyone could bring an item of food so we can make a food basket - perhaps whatever your favorite holiday food is (boxed stuffing or potatoes), or maybe homemade cookies. I was also thinking of some small gift certificates ($5 or $10) to Blockbuster, Panera, Starbucks, etc. These could be a gift for the mother. At the social, we will prepare all the gifts for delivery on the 24th.

Finally, we thought it would be fun to play a game of white elephant. What does that mean? Find something to wrap up and bring it along for a fun game that involves stealing gifts and getting the good one!

If you are interested in attending and have not yet received the e-vite, please leave us a message here and we’ll be sure to contact you with additional details and Kristie’s address! Hope to see you all next week!
