This delightful event features a groaning board of
excellent foods,
a wonderful array of wines, good cheer, and the opportunity to donate
presents to the less fortunate children in Anacostia (Southeast D.C.)
and Alexandria, VA. Our good friends at the Portofino Restaurant
help make this happen. The price is
$40 per person for each
member and first guest and $45 per person for additional guests.
All attending are requested to
bring a child’s gift of
approximately $15 in value, appropriately wrapped, and marked with the
appropriate age and sex.
Please note there will be a short Business
Meeting commencing at 6:45 p.m.
