HOLIDAY PARTY

We are now planning our annual Holiday Party. It’s early, but we want to put together a team of Members we can count on to help set up and clean up. The meeting room always needs to be left as we found it when we leave. In the past it has always fallen to the Board/spouses to do this which just isn’t fair to us. We work hard all year and think it is only fair that Members help out more. At our BBQ this year, for the first time, everyone helped clean up and it was a breeze! Please volunteer to help out! …..and a BIG thank you for those members that already volunteered!!!! The Club will supply the main course, C. R. CHICKS, and each member is asked to bring a dish to share……appetizers, sides or deserts. Attached is a sign up sheet…Please email me back what you are bringing.
