Azcobras 23rd anniversary & xmas party

[Danr55]

We are going to have our annual anniversary party on December 2, at the Vault in Scottsdale. We've done this each year for at least a 12 years or 13 years or 15 years I've been running with this crowd. And each year we've had food everybody has contributed toys as well as contributing a location for the party. The last few years we've been very fortunate to have the party at Pam and Ron's. They have never asked for a penny even though they provided the taco truck for us each year as well as space for our Cars & Cans Food Drive - Benefitting United Food Bank . Bob Broberg has always seen that we have trophies, and he also has never asked for reimbursement. So this year we're going to take up a collection and we're going to ask the members to donate whatever they feel is right. I'll be taking gifts for the white elephant drawing passing out tickets and I'll have a coffee can for any donations the members feel like giving. So in addition to a new, packaged toy, a gift that is wrapped for each person who wishes to participate in the white elephant drawing, a big smile and a hearty appetite, can ask you to bring a little bit of cash and donate. The money will be distributed, by Bob Broberg, to the folks who have for years provided everything the club needed for the party and never ask for a dime.
This is at the request of our senior active member and good friend. Don't think it was my idea, although I've wondered about it for years. I know for a time the cash not used for awards on the Laughlin trip were applied to the party, we no longer make that trip so those funds now come out of private pockets. So don't be stingy!
