Cholla Community

Santa Claus came to Cholla Bay once again this year thanks to Nancy & Don Schmidli and all their volunteers. The party was a big success with lots of young kids and their families enjoing a wonderful day served up by the Cholla Bay Community.

ATTENTION - ATTENTION! PLEASE READ COMPLETELY!

Thursday, December 31, will feature the rising of the blue moon at approximately 5:50 PM. The evening will also feature another faculous OBSC party which will get under way at 7:00 PM. Remember - the moon rises at 5:50 BUT THE PARTY DOESN’T START UNTIL 7:00. The theme of the OBSC’s most elegant event of the year is quite naturally “Blue Moon”. Maybe you’ll even want to wear blue! There will be an open bar and a feast of delicious Hors D’oeuvres available all evening, but no formal dinner. Of course it wouldn’t be New Years without those annoying party favors. There will also be Blue Jello Shots at 10:00 PM to celebrate with New York and 11:00 PM with New Orleans. Champagne corks will pop at midnight to welcome 2010 in Cholla Bay. Daniel will be there to play music for your listening or dancing pleasure. Plan to stay to see the New Year begin.

Tickets are $20 for members and $30 for guests. A limited number of 130 tickets will be presold. They are nonrefundable, but may be transferred member-to-member or guest-to-guest. Tickets are available directly from Pat Goodin at 382-5056 or Vonage at 575-635-4779. Her email is nolehacepat@yahoo.com. You can call Shirley McDonald at 382-5119 or Magicjack 480-463-7984. Her email is candsmcd@aol.com.
We request you buy your tickets if possible before December 26 in order to plan food quantities.

A new OBSC jacket will be raffled. Tickets will be 6 for $5.00. There might be some surprise happenings, too.

On New Year’s Day the party continues with breakfast and football. Pat Sledge will be preparing and serving breakfast around 10:00 AM. Plan to stick around for football and beer after breakfast. Pat S. promises a football pool for each of the college bowl games for our many OBSC gamers who will basically gamble on ANYTHING. Tickets for this bonus event (the breakfast) are $5.00 and If you plan to attend this event, please notify Pat G., Shirley or Pat S. for quantity control.

WE ALSO WANT TO WISH EVERYONE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR, (even if you don’t come to our party).

Shirley McDonald & Pat Goodin
