IT’S ALMOST PARTY TIME!!!
This is a final reminder that we need your help to make this a successful party.
We need FOOD, BEER, assorted EQUIPMENT, DONATIONS FOR FOOD & CLOTHING DRIVE, and VOLUNTEERS FOR setup and cleanup. See details below.
It is time for the Pacific Gravity and Culver City Homebrew Supply Shop annual holiday on Saturday, December 12, 2015 at Neil Saund’s party duplex. Neil’s address is: 12966 Rubens Ave. Los Angeles, CA. (It is the house on the corner of Alla Rd. and Rubens Ave.)
The party will kick off about 5:00 P.M. This is one party not to be missed!
FOOD:
Although the club will be providing much of the main dishes, this is still a potluck party and YOUR favorite party dish will sure be appreciated! The menu should mostly reflect past holiday parties featuring Carbonnades ala Flamande, prime rib ala BBQ, deep fried turkeys, spiced ham and much more! Suggestions would include any kind of main dish but especially all side dishes, veggie dishes, salads, desserts and appetizers. So, if you have a favorite family holiday recipe and want to share it with the rest of us, this is your chance!
Please let us know what you can bring! Also, contact us if you have any questions about what to bring!
Contact Club Chef Ian at: masterchef@pacificgravity.com or Mimi at mbardet@verizon.net.
The dinner portion of the event is scheduled for 7:30 PM. There will little or no oven space available for reheating food, so please bring it ready to serve, not ready to cook! Also, don’t forget to label your containers or anything you want back.
EQUIPMENT:
We set up the decorations and tree this last Sunday and installed 2 firepits so we NEED FIREWOOD! If you can bring wood please do so! It is forecasted to be cold on Saturday evening!
We could use a few more tables.
We also need jockey boxes and CO2 cylinders to help make sure all the beverages flow cold with perfect carbonation. We have more kegs than taps on the Wave, and the jockey boxes help out big time. Rumor has it we may need a few Sanke taps, so if you have one bring it along.
If at all possible, please bring your kegs and heavy stuff around noon on Saturday and help us set up. This makes the last minute activities at party time go much more smoothly. The early kegs get the best slots on the Wave. Make sure all your kegs, coolers, tanks and taps are well labeled so they all return to their rightful owners Sunday morning.
For equipment, please contact us: PG Board at Board@PacificGravity.com or Mimi Bardet at mbardet@verizon.net and let us know what you can bring.
