We are looking forward to seeing everyone tonight at the annual Christmas Party!

The party officially kicks off at 6. Volunteers will be there as early as 5 finishing setting up if anyone would like to help.

We will kick off with bartender Lakyn serving up happy hour, followed by our resident chef the amazing Julie's lasagna dinner with salad and desserts provided by volunteers.

After that we will have silent auction bidding along with our white elephant gift exchange.

We will finish up the night with our live auction!

Need a personalized gift for yourself or someone else? Paisley Designs will have a table set up making horse hair resin keychains/necklaces for $10. If you bring a 1x1" section of horse hair to the party, she can make it on the spot or she will have mail in envelopes available.

It will be a fun night of celebration, fun, food and friends to kick off the holiday.

Bring a friend or 3. We will have 2026 membership info and options available.

We hope to see everyone there!

As we are decorating the club house we have found that we are in need of a new tree! We are hoping someone has an extra laying one laying around in good condition. Hopefully not taller than 5feet. Please reach out if you have something!
