Annual Holiday Party and Potluck - 12/3/11

Post by Lynn McLaughlin »

Greetings All,

Saturday, December 3rd
6-10pm (set up prep 4:30 - 5:45)
Encino Community Center
4935 Balboa Blvd,
South of 101 on Balboa, on the right (west) side of the street. If you go to Ventura Blvd, you've gone too far.

This is a potluck event so please bring your favorite dishes.

This year we are very happy to introduce our Silent Auction. As an SHGA fundraiser, this looks to be a great addition to our traditional festivities and a way for all members to support SHGA. We will post the auction items online before the party, so please check back soon.

Soon we fly,

Lynn

Post by Cyndia »

At this years Holiday event, we are having a Silent Auction to raise money for the club and the Pavilion. If you are planning on attending, please bring cash or your checkbook as we do not have a way of accepting credit cards. If you CANNOT attend but are interested in any of the items, please note the Item # and your MAXIMUM BID and send it to me at czumpft@singular.com. I will open bidding at the starting bid (as posted) and raise your bid as others bid against you. If you win, I will make arrangements to get you your items and you can pay the club.

Please review the list carefully and keep in mind who you need to buy holiday gifts for. If you would like to add something to the list for others to bid on, please contact me asap and I will add it to the list. Bidding closes the night of the event, Dec 3.
