ORNAMENT DECORATING
Create and decorate your own holiday ornament. We'll supply the blank ornament and you supply the festive cheer!

We want to see your holiday sweaters! To be eligible, you must wear a holiday or winter themed sweater, sweatshirt, sweater vest or jacket to the event.
HOLIDAY COOKIE TABLE
We're encouraging members to bring their own festive holiday dessert treats! What type of treat should you bring? Think of something that's easy to hold like cookies, bars, ladylocks, macarons and brownies. Items like cupcakes and cakes can be delicious but also messy.
