CHAPTER 11:   
 
Greetings My Fellow Altrusans,
 
The countdown to the Taste is in full swing with less than 2 weeks to go!  Our committees have done a fantastic job getting us ready for this impressive event and I hope you are all looking forward to it as much as I am. If you've not had a chance to be a part of the action yet, PLEASE plan to join your fellow club members next week as we put the final touches on. We'll be prepping at the Mayborn Convention Center Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th so come one and all whenever you are available - a full day, a half day , or even just a few hours. And of course, we hope to have 100% participation on Thursday the 17th. Watch for upcoming announcements from your TOH chairs and be sure to ask questions of your sponsors or any new friend in the club should you feel like you don't know what to expect. I know I didn't have a clue my first year! We have had a lot of new members join in the last few years who have not had the opportunity to participate in a Taste of the Holidays event!  This is a very exciting time for our club. 
 
Announcements:
Taste of the Holidays attire:
Black pants, white shirt, black apron, and comfortable shoes!
 
If you are a New Member and don't have an apron yet - reach out to Julie Ruiz, she has one for you.  The cost is $15.  
 
All members who want to eat a meal after the Taste of the Holidays (and you really should want to) need to place that order as well. The cost is $10 to Julie Ruiz.

THRILLER SOCIAL SPECTACULAR! A big thank you to the Thriller Book Club, led by Pam Abernathy, for hosting such a fun book club!
