GPCA HOLIDAY PARTY
|
|
You are invited to attend our Holiday Luncheon
on
Wednesday, December 13, from
11:30 to 1:00. This will be a fun time to celebrate and
network with friends and colleagues, old or new;
enjoy good
food; play a little; and think about our intentions for a
great
new year.
In addition to the luncheon buffet and holiday
desserts, we
will raise a glass of champagne (or sparkling cider)
to toast
our outgoing and incoming board members.
In the spirit of holiday giving, we are also focusing on
2
charitable organizations at this year's party:
- The Carnegie-Area Food Pantry, which
provides
meals for
around 500 people per month.
- The Catholic Latino Center, which helps
recent
immigrants meet their social and economic needs.
The Center
would
especially appreciate help with the babies and
children they
serve.
We are asking each guest to bring a small cash
donation;
canned food of any type; or a baby item (shampoo,
baby
soap, baby nail clippers, receiving blankets--no
diapers or
clothes needed!) for the benefit of these 2 groups.
Mark your calendars and join us for this festive event!
