Charity Update:

In true F3 form, we want to make sure this event is fun, but also more than about us.  We are asking you to bring canned goods to donate to the Calvary Food Bank & Feeding Outreach at Calvary Church.  Here is a list of their needs: canned tuna, canned veggies (not corn or green beans – already fully stocked), canned fruits, canned or boxed potatoes, boxes of cereal, boxes of individual packs of oatmeal. They have a huge Saturday morning homeless feeding program, hence the need for breakfast items.  We want to make a big impact for Calvary Food Bank since they provide such a great space for multiple Area 51 AOs.

Raffle Tickets:

Raffle tickets will be sold at the door for $2 per ticket or $10 for 6 tickets.  Please bring cash to purchase your tickets.  We will have multiple drawings for the raffle throughout the evening and you must be present to win.  You will receive 1 free raffle ticket with your canned goods donation. 

Prizes include a golf bag, movie passes to Cinebarre, a $30 gift card to Try Sports, free entry to the Joe Davis Memorial Resolution Run, and a free team entry to the April Ultimate Challenge Mud Run at The Leatherneck!

Additional Info:

• We have reserved the private room at Sugar Creek Brewery, which will be exclusive to only the A51 Christmas party.
• Food will be provided by Leroy Fox
• There will be a private bar serving beer, wine, and non alcoholic drinks (NOTE: Automatic 20% gratuity put on all credit card charges – no need for additional tip.  Tip jars available for those paying with cash)
