This year sure flew by fast! That must mean we've all been having fun with those beady little things we find so enticing. Our holiday party will be held on December 15 at Bayou Manor, located at 4141 South Braeswood. The party will run from 10:00 a.m. to12:30 p.m.
Michael Miles will be our host again this year and will be bringing drinks and ice.
PARKING:
Please park in the uncovered spaces in the rear of the gated parking lot. Covered spaces are for residents of Bayou Manor only. After parking, walk back through either the pedestrian or vehicle gate and access the building through the main entrance. Please check in with the receptionist for an ID badge before proceeding to the auditorium.
WHAT TO BRING:
As a reminder, members have been asked to bring goodies to munch on during the party. If your last name begins with A-L, please bring something sweet. M-Z should bring something savory.
Tablecloths, napkins, plates and cups will be provided.
Members are asked to bring a beady gift with a maximum value of $10 to participate in the gift exchange. Michael will issue numbered tickets and when your number is called, you may select a gift from the table or you may appropriate a gift that has already been opened. However, if that recipient wants to keep the gift, he or she will have to sing for it. A gift can be appropriated three times, with that third time being the charm. Then it goes home with whoever is in possession.
VENDORS:
Any current member can be a vendor at the monthly meetings. The cost is $10 for one 6' table, payable when the Treasurer, Carolyn Slater, comes by to collect, not once sales are generated. Vendors must provide their own table coverings and may arrive at 9:00 a.m. and sell until the President, Diane Mayes, announces that the party will begin. Vendors are expected to cover their tables at that time and may resume sales once the party is over. Everyone must vacate the auditorium no later than 12:30 p.m. If you would like to vend this month, please contact me at slnowlin@yahoo.com or 713-294-9886 by December 14.
LIBRARY:
The library will not be open for checking out materials but our Librarian, Lillian Skogsberg, will be accepting returns that are scheduled for this month. Please note that there will not be a library raffle this time.
MEMBERSHIP:
For those beading friends who keep their membership current, we are very appreciative of your efforts. It allows you to attend monthly meetings and have the opportunity to participate in the monthly programs. Dues are $30 per year for an individual and $40 per year for a family membership (two persons living in the same household). Our Membership Coordinator, Kim Butler, will be glad to assist you in effecting your renewal.
Our annual holiday party is always a lot of fun so I'll look forward to seeing you there.
