Memphis Scottish Society, Inc.
ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PARTY
Mark your calendar for — it’s time for our annual Christmas Party! As is our custom, instead of a regular member meeting on the second Monday of December, we’ll gather for a gala holiday fete at Neshoba Unitarian Universalist Church.
Time:
Monday, December 10, 2007
From 6:00 p.m. to ??
Place:
Neshoba Unitarian Universalist Church
7350 Raleigh Lagrange Road
Cordova, TN 38018
PLEASE NOTE: ACCESS FROM MACON ROAD IS NOW CLOSED DUE TO CONSTRUCTION!
As an opener we’ll tuck into an elegent potluck. This is your opportunity to reveal your skill in the culinary arts: pick your favorite holiday or party dishes and let your Scottish friends revel in them. Use the following as a guide (so we don’t all show up with 7-layer salad) by last-name initial:
| A – F | entrees
|
| G – L | desserts
|
| M | appetizers & salads
|
| N – R | side dishes & vegetables
|
| S – W | breads & relishes |
And remember, you need not feel limited to these suggestions.
For entertainment, the Caledonia Chorale will sing. Additional music will be provided by several of our talented instrumental muscians.
Did someone mention gifts? We certainly will have gifts! First, we will have big boxes in which you may deposit new, unwrapped Toys-for-Tots which Ben Kemker will convey into the Marines Corps’ larger collection. (Don’t be surprised if a well-known gent from the North Pole shows up to help with this worthy endeavor!) We will also indulge in the annual Prove-You’re-a-Real-Scot $5 gift challenge: find a gender-appropriate gift to exchange (that is, ladies bring a lady’s gift, men bring manly presents) COSTING NO MORE THAN $5.
There will be games with prizes and as we introduced last year, a holiday table decorating contest. Table covering, napkins, centerpiece, dishes and flatwear, serving pieces, Granny Janet’s cut-glass salt cellars — whatever strikes your fancy. Let Mary Ann Lucas (901-725-1879 or MaryAnn.Lucas@memphisscots.com) know you want to enter the contest & she will set aside a table on which you can display your masterpiece. Those sitting at that table will enjoy their meal even more using your finery.
Come prepared for a fun & festive evening — see you there!
