Holiday Party Information - From Jim Dionne
It is time for our annual Holiday Party. Dana Skillman and I will be organizing it and the format will be very similar to last year. We will be having the party at Mastoris again and the price will be in the $27 - $30 range per person.
We will send another email with all of the specifics but right now we just want to narrow down the date. Here are the options:
Friday, December 9th - We would be on the left side of the restaurant and would have half of the main seating area. The back hall is completely booked on this date and this is they only area they have that could potentially hold up to 50 people (we had about 30 people last year and we have grown since then)
Thursday, December 15th - The back hall is not currently booked so we could sit back there.
Friday, December 16th - I have not checked on the availability yet but this is another option and we did have the party last year on the last day of school before winter break.
Please respond to me by noon on Monday. I need to know the following:
1) Are you interested in attending and , if so, how many people in your 'group'
2) Your first and second choice for dates (if our first choice books up between now and then, we will need a second choice)
