ADOPT A TABLE & TRIM THE ROOM:
We have six 6 ft. rectangle tables. They will have basic black table covers. Individuals and companies are invited to adopt a table. Bring in a tablecloth or covering for the table and any decorations to make it a wonderful table to dine at.
There will be prizes for participation, but the greatest prize of all is knowing that you’re lending your artistry to make the holiday party festive!
To adopt a table, contact Lee Armstrong.
Also, holiday decorations {any holiday!} for the room will be greatly appreciated.
Doors open at 4:30, so bring in some decorations (no nails please) to trim the room. At the end you just take your decorations down and take them home.
GIFT EXCHANGE: If you wish to participate in the exchange, bring a puppet related, wrapped gift to add to the pile (in the past, $10.00 approximate value has been suggested.) All who bring a gift will get to receive one.
PUPPET DISPLAY: Do you have a puppet that you’ve made, that you’d like to display? A table will be provided for an informal puppet exhibit, so bring your puppet (on a stand, if needed) and share your puppet(s) with others.
GUILD LIBRARY: The Guild library has hundreds of books covering a variety of topics. Books & DVD’s will be available for checkout at the meeting, to people that have been members for at least 6 months. Are you looking for books or DVD on a particular topic?
