Christmas Party Dec 14, 2024

[upacreek]

Georgia Appleseed Family (plus neighbors),

It's time to party like it's 2025.  An email was sent out last week with the invite, but it's time to get to the nitty gritty details.

Who?
For the Georgia Instructor Cadre and their families, as well as a few token border raiders and their families!

What?
Potluck dinner with a white elephant gift exchange. Please reply either in thread or PM me if you are coming and let me know how many are in your group, including you and what you are bringing. There is a sign up list to help give you ideas.

When?
Saturday, December 14th, 2023 at 3:00 PM EST

Where?
My house -
    337 Brookshire Rd NE
    Ranger, Georgia 30734
I know it's a little out of the way, but we decided that a house offers a more relaxed setting for socializing than a restaurant. If you're concerned about the drive, feel free to stay over. I've got plenty of floor space, a few cots, and a spare bedroom.

A heads-up: I have two cats and a dog. We'll be mostly in the basement, which has been cat-free since the house was built, and I'll make sure the cats are tucked away during the party. As for the dog, if she's still in her puppy phase, she'll be spending the day at a friend's house.

Why?
The real question is Why not?

Last year's party was fantastic, so let's do it again.  Plus, it'd be nice to see each other's families again.

Thanks so much for opening your home and keeping the tradition going!

I'll be there with my wife. I'll bring Meatballs and Broccoli Cornbread.

Are we doing the white elephant thing again? If so, I'll bring two gifts (one for each of us).

Let me know if I can do or bring anything else for the party.

Yup, white elephant.  Bring your discarded holster, outgrown instructor shirt, or something completely unrelated to things that go bang.
