Jingle, Jingle

it's time to Mix & Mingle!

With immense excitement, we're thrilled to announce that our annual holiday extravaganza is swiftly approaching...

just a mere 10 days away!

As we gear up for this joyous celebration, we kindly urge

all attendees to consider contributing to our charitable efforts by donating essential items for Newhouse.

Giving:  All attendees are encouraged to bring donated gifts for either Newhouse Shelter and/or the residents. For every gift you donate you will get a raffle ticket to put towards winning a gift for yourself or someone on your shopping list! (1 raffle ticket per donated item).

Most popular and heavily requested items for the residents to have as gifts (not on the wish list):

• Bluetooth speakers
• Perfume
• Spa sets (these typically have face masks, bath bombs, lotion, body wash)
• Children's toys (Legos, Playdoh, Dolls, art & raft kits)
• Adult art & craft kits/supplies
• Gift cards (Walmart, Target, QuikTrip, Visa, Restaurants)

Receiving: We are also looking for auction and raffle prize donations – these are typically generously donated from our Associate members, but obviously all Professional members are encouraged to donate as well!



• Gift cards (Restaurants, Starbucks, Amazon, Visa…)
• Appliances (Keurig, Air Fryer, Roomba…)
• Furniture (Chair, lamp, sit/stand…)
• Gift baskets (wine, liquor, treats…)
• The latest great holiday gifts…

It would be great to know what some of the auction and raffle prizes are in advance of the party so we could tout them in a future Monday Morning Memos. So please, don't hesitate to reach out and let us know what goodies will be up for grabs!
