Sunday, January 1st, 2023

It’s time for our annual Holiday Party! It will be held on Saturday, January 14th at 6:00 PM. (Note that this is a week earlier than our usual week, and is on a Saturday!)

We’ll be meeting at the Discovery Methodist Church in Chanhassen, and there will be chili, salad, cornbread, and dessert! Special thanks to Sandy Meyer for doing all of the cooking, and arranging the location, too! Bring your own non-alcoholic beverage.

No performance theme this month, so it’s entirely up to you what you show us. Also, we’ll be talking about plans for the coming year, including our 100 Year Anniversary!

We’ll be setting up the Zoom camera setup in case anyone wants to attend virtually — although technology hasn’t advanced enough for virtual chili eating….. We’ll send out connection information prior to the event. If you plan on attending the in-person party, please RSVP here or via Facebook. Sandy needs to know how much chili to make!!
