Our annual Holiday Party is rapidly approaching and it takes a lot of effort to put together. As with all our parties, we count on club members to volunteer to help out. There are a number of ways you can volunteer to help. We need help with set up and clean up, we need members to bring potluck dishes for our feast, we need members to donate beer and we need assorted equipment.
Set Up and Clean Up
We’ll be doing two rounds of set up for the party and we’ll need help for both on Sunday, Dec 5th at noon we’ll be meeting at Neil’s duplex to do an initial setup. We’re planning on setting up most of our equipment and decorating the house and our Christmas tree. Everybody who shows up is encouraged to bring a can or two of beer with them, we plan on emptying the cans and using the empty cans as decorations on our Christmas tree like last year.
On Saturday, Dec 11th in the afternoon we’ll be meeting at Neil’s duplex to do final set up.
On Sunday, Dec 12th at 11 am we’ll meet at Neil’s duplex to clean up alter the party. We always need lots of people to help with clean up and the more we get the faster it goes.
If you’d like to volunteer for set up or clean up contact: Michael Steinberg at ActivitiesDirector@PacificGravity.com.
Potluck and Food
The menu should reflect past Holiday Parties featuring Prime Rib, Carbonnades ala Flamande, roast & deep fried turkeys, spiced ham and much more! As is customary with our holiday parties, this is a potluck event, the club supplies the main dishes and we count on members to provide the side dishes, salads and deserts. So if you have a favorite family holiday recipe and want to share it with the rest of us, this is your time to shine!
Please remember to label any dishes, utensils, etc. that you bring so that we can get them back to you.
If you’d like to volunteer food for the party contact: Ian Fraser at MasterChef@PacificGravity.com or Michael Steinberg at ActivitiesDirector@PacificGravity.com.
Beer
We also need beer for this event, lots of beer! Or mead! Or cider! We’re counting on you to provide it. So pull out your kegs and dig deep in your closet for those old tasty bottled treasures and bring them along! Please let us know what and how much homebrew you’re planning on bringing. Loaner kegs are available for those who are not so equipped.
Any of you who have already volunteered kegs should drop them off at the shop by Thursday, Dec 10th or bring them to Neil’s Saturday afternoon before the party.
We’ll be dispensing a lot of beer and will need more taps, jockey boxes and dispensing equipment than we currently have. If you can volunteer dispensing equipment or can bring your new club jockey box, please let Carl know.
Please remember to label any kegs or dispensing equipment that you bring so that we can get them back to you.
If you’d like to volunteer beer for the party, contact Carl Townsend at CompetitionCoordinator@PacificGravity.com.
Equipment
We’re still looking for some assorted equipment. Please let us know if you can volunteer any of the following:
- PA System
- Folding tables
- Patio heaters
- Jockey boxes/beer dispensing equipment
- Christmas lights/decorations
Any of you who will be volunteering equipment should try to bring it to Neil’s this Sunday, Dec 5th or Saturday, Dec 11th in the afternoon before the party.
Again, please remember to label any equipment that you bring so that we can get them back to you.
If you’d like to volunteer equipment contact: Michael Steinberg at ActivitiesDirector@PacificGravity.com.
And finally, if you’re volunteering equipment, kegs or food, plan on picking up your items at the Sunday clean up. We really don’t have any capacity to store items that are not picked up.
