RSVP

Please RSVP by December 1 so we know how many soft drinks, turkey, and ham to provide. You must RSVP to attend.

Please log in as a current member to RSVP.

Gift Swap!

If you would like to participate in the gift swap, bring a wrapped item (approximate value of $20) to add to the fun. Your guests are also welcome to bring a gift and participate. Everyone who brings a wrapped gift will go home with a present brought by someone else.

Potluck Food!

The club will provide tableware, plates, cups, soft drinks, ham and turkey. Guests are asked to bring one of the following items, enough for 8 to 10 people.

If your last name begins with A through M, please bring a dessert; N through S, an appetizer; and T through Z, a side dish.

Party Notes

Drink: This is a BYOB event. Meads and wines may be sampled and shared. If you drink, please drink responsibly.

Venue: The owners of the venue are lending us this space because they know that beekeepers are tidy. Please be a good guest and leave no mess.

Before and after the party: The RSVP form offers a chance for you to volunteer to help set up between 5 pm and 6 pm, and help clean up between 8 pm and 9 pm.
