President's Message

Happy Thanksgiving!

Seriously, how did we end up in the holiday season already? If you are like me, you're probably decorating for next month's festivities; although I know some of you had your holiday decorations up two weeks ago. No judgement (I'm jealous). It's 2020 and our normal rules don't apply!

Our Programs Committee is currently finalizing our virtual Holiday Party! Mark your calendar and save the date for December 11th. We love holiday parties and wish we could have an actual in-person celebration, but our virtual party should be a lot of fun, especially with our live cocktail/mocktail masterclass (our Chapter will provide the mixology kit to members who pre-register) plus other fun. See below for a sneak-peak of the party festivities.

If you have any free time in December, please visit the National site for the ongoing free webinars. December's theme is "Architecture and Design". See topics and link below.

On behalf of the Chapter Council, please have a safe Thanksgiving holiday and weekend. We'll see you in December.

Join us December 11th for our

Virtual Holiday Party

(Sneak Peak of Festivities)

Gingerbread House Showdown

Show off your building skills and present your finished gingerbread house during the holiday party for your chance to win prizes. Members should have their completed house ready to show off on the day of our party. Have fun. We can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

Mixology Master Class

Join us for a cocktail and/or mocktail demo with the Chapter. All ingredients will be provided by the Chapter for members that register in advance. Due to mailing restrictions, we may not be able to mail alcohol mixes to the neighbor islands; however, we will provide the majority of items that can be mailed. We will also provide a list of ingredients for those that were unable to register by the deadline but still want to participate.

Festive Hat Contest

Show your holiday spirit and win prizes for the best holiday hat. Or be like Eric Carson of Reflections Glass (left). He rocked it at our last holiday party! Dress up (or not), wear holiday accessories, dress up your pets...whatever. The point is to have fun with your peers during our last event of the year.

Watch you emails and social media

We will be sending the Save the Date with registration information shortly. Please note deadlines to insure timely delivery of mixology kit. Hope to see you on the 11th.
