FOOD BANK COLLECTION

Our semi-annual collection for the Green Valley-Amado Food Bank will take place on October 30, the day of our brunch. You may place your donations in the bin outside the Ballroom.

Besides food items, the Food Bank really appreciates cleaning, paper, and hygiene products. No time to shop? Cash, checks, and credit card donations as well as gift cards are always welcomed.

OKTOBERFEST TICKETS

Only 4 days left to purchase tickets for Oktoberfest scheduled for October 29 starting at 4 p.m. in the Ballroom. For only $30 besides helping the Scholarship Program:

• you can enjoy authentic German food
• taste beer for free between 4 and 4:45
• and dance to the music of the Bouncing Czechs. And yes, they will play other than polkas!

To buy a ticket, contact 207-6188 or pastpresident@womenqc.com.  The last opportunity to buy tickets will be at the Beer Talk on October 23^rd. Cash or checks only.

BEER TALK

Come hear a talk on The Art of Craft Beer on October 23 at 7:00 p.m. in the Ballroom.

You will not get to taste beer at this lecture—that’s reserved for the Oktoberfest. But you will learn what distinguishes craft beer from the mass-produced variety.

We will be selling tickets for both the 50-50 raffle and the gift basket raffle starting at 6:00 p.m. on October 23 in the hallway.

• Tickets are 6 for $5, 14 for $10, and 30 for $20
• Access this link to see a LIST OF PRIZES
