December 19, 2013: Holiday Party & Toy Drive (at Ginger's in Roseville, CA)

Hello everyone,

A message from Elizabeth Brown, SacVCOA Planning Committee:

Please join the Sacramento Chapter of the VCOA for our Holiday Party and Toy Drive at Ginger's Restaurant in Roseville, CA on Thursday, December 19th at 7:30pm.

This is not an ambitious event, just an opportunity for club members to get together and share some holiday cheer while sharing a meal and supporting the UC Davis Medical Center Children's Hospital by bringing one unwrapped toy per person/family attending the holiday party to support their Child Life and Creative Art Therapy Programs!

About the Restaurant: Ginger’s is a family-owned/operated classic American-style restaurant with a casual tropical/Hawaiian vibe featuring Certified Angus Beef menu selections and have won five Style Magazine Reader’s Choice Awards. They also have free entertainment and on Thursday, will feature guitar music.
For those of you not quite done with your holiday shopping, the restaurant is near a number of Roseville landmark shopping destinations such as the Fountains, Westfield Galleria, and the Automall.

Hi Everyone,

The Sac Volvo Club Holiday Party has been canceled.

If you have already purchased an item for the UC Davis Child Life and Creative Art Therapy Programs, you can drop it off during their drive-up, drop-off hours as noted in their press release:
http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/publish/news/newsroom/8502

If this has caused you any inconvenience, I apologize.

---

Since the Holiday season can be busy and difficult to plan events, I put together a quick questionnaire to try to get a better sense of what your schedule(s) may look like to better plan the 2014 Sac Volvo Club Holiday Party.

The Questionnaire form can be seen on the Sac Volvo Club Event Flyer Page here:
http://www.sacvolvoclub.org/Home/events/event-flyer

Or, here is the direct link to the form:

If you have any suggestions for the 2014 Holiday Party and/or would like to participate in the planning of the event, please let me know!

---

In the meantime, we hope you and your family have a wonderful Holiday Season and wish to thank you for your support of the Sac Volvo Club!

We look forward to another great year in 2014!

Take care,
volvie!
