 CHRISTMAS PARTY

DECEMBER 11th
Social 5:30 PM, Dinner 6:00 PM
Becky Schuyten’s home
SE 250 Phillips Rd.

This is a Potluck so bring your favorite Christmas hot dish, salad, side dish or dessert.  PAA furnishes punch and coffee. Also bring a wrapped gift (preferably one of your own creations, but not necessarily)  for the Chinese Auction if you want to participate.  We put all the gifts under the tree and participants pick a number.  No. 1 goes first to pick a gift and open it. Then No.2 either chooses one from the pile or steals the one No 1 has, in which case No.1 chooses a new one and unwraps it. And so on down the line.  Gifts can be stolen only 3 times then it belongs to the one that has it. This is a lot of fun and a great way to share your art.  Spouses and Guests are welcome and may participate in Auction if they bring a gift.
