THE GRANGE CULTURAL ARTS CENTER, THE MEADOWS

3692 Meadows Blvd, Castle Rock, co 80109

Program:  HOLIDAY PARTY INCLUDING SILENT AUCTION & WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE

For our December chapter meeting, please join us for an evening of raffles, white elephant gift exchanges and delicious food.

DINNER - Thanks to long-time CCTU board member John Cristantiello, we will be providing all the food and beverages.  John is a chef and food sales rep by trade, and never disappoints with the great spreads he does at our events.  This year’s holiday party menu will be Mexican themed, including Beef and Chicken Fajitas, Refried Beans, Cilantro Rice, Chips and Salsa/Pico, Guacamole, and more. 

SILENT AUCTION – New for this year, we will be having a Silent Auction with a number of nice items, including Ray Nagashima bottles of fine wine, a Dave Whitlock S&N print, White Chocolate Grill gift certificates, numerous sets of fly assortments, and more!  Won’t be as big as our Fundraising Party Silent Auctions, but will have a solid set of things to bid on. 

WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE – Have fun and join in our long-time chapter holiday party tradition.  Surprises abound in this type of exchange.  Please bring a wrapped gift, however your choice as to how it is decorated.  Gift should be less than $25 in value (not including any flies that might be involved).  Usually everything has a fishing overtone, but you can be creative and provide a surprise, too…the sillier/stupider, the better.  There will be a few extra gifts in case someone didn’t have time or forgot (these require $20 donation to the chapter).  Each item is assigned a number, then randomly picked.  Each item is susceptible to be “stolen” by the next participant. Any item is retired after the third exchange. 

RAFFLE – In lieu of the monthly Fly Raffle, we will have a special Holiday Raffle of a fishing oriented prizes for on and off the stream.  Five shekels buys a ticket.

If you haven’t been to a CCTU holiday party before, it is a great way to meet chapter members in a truly fun, laid-back evening.  We look forward to seeing everyone there. 

Please RSVP at the link below if you plan on attending.  Members, potential members, visitors, friends are all welcome.  Please don’t hesitate to come even if you don’t RSVP, but it would be great to get at least a rough count as to how many folks will be there for food planning purposes.
