[NFBV-Potomac-Announce] Party on: Greater Alexandria Chapter Invites You to Keep the Celebration Going

[Christine Grassman]

Listen, you can rest and start saving money again after the season has concluded. You can make it a New Year’s resolution. Oh, well, maybe not, since we know how that generally goes.
So anyway, where was I? Oh, yeah, getting ready to get down with our Greater Alexandria chapter:

> 
> 
> HO HO HO, Y’ALL!
> It’s that time again!
> Huh!  What do you mean “what time”?  It’s THAT time!  Holiday Celebration Time!  A time to come together once again, IN PERSON, (our first time since 2019 when COVID hit!), to laugh, break bread, sing a few songs, and enjoy the magic and love of the holiday season!
> In the spirit of all this mushiness, The Greater Alexandria Chapter presents…
> 
> A Joyful Return to “Happy Holidays”!
> 
> When?  Saturday, December 10th, 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
> Where?  Arielle’s place, Montebello Condominiums, 5902 Mount Eagle Drive, Alexandria, VA 22303. Detailed directions will be provided to those who RSVP.
> Cost?  $20.00, catered dinner.
> BYOB (Bring your own beverage) if you wish!  Or bring drinks to share, alcoholic or otherwise.
> Also, if you feel moved by your sweet tooth, feel free to bring a dessert to share with the rest of the party animals!  It would be greatly appreciated!
> So, here’s the fun part!  Pay attention!
> Following our catered dinner, we are shaking it up!
> 1.     We will have an open mic for all of us who like to sing in public!  All you shower singers…c’mon!  Take a risk!  Sing a song or two with your friends!
> 2.    We will be hosting a Holiday Fashion Olympics complete with a runway and very official Olympic judges! There will be a secret, celebrity judge on hand!  Even WE don’t know who it is yet!  LOL!  So, dig out your most festive holiday outfit and wear it to the party!  All will be judged on creativity, uniqueness, and…well...creativity!  1st prize - $25 Amazon gift card. 2nd prize - $15 Amazon gift card. 3rd prize - $10 Amazon gift card.
> 3.    WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE!  My favorite!  We hope everyone will bring a wrapped gift, under $10, appropriate for anyone!  As we play through the process, gifts will be enjoyed and possibly stolen!  It makes for great fun, so bring your wrapped gift and get ready to steal…I mean play!
> 4.    50/50 Raffle!  Any money made will be split between Greater Alexandria Chapter and the person who wins!  All details will be shared with those who RSVP.
