- Tickets are $10.00 for members and $20.00 for first time guests.
- If you are purchasing for multiple persons please have the names of each person when you pay.
- Please contact Nancy Jacobs at (970) 946-3910 to reserve your seat(s).
Brunch Menu: Egg salad filled croissant, melon salad and an apple crumb cupcake with goblin glaze. The special drink will be a Black Russian with spider on the side.
If you choose, you may wear a costume, or wear your black and orange as it’s the Halloween season.
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 23rd. 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.
RAFFLE TICKETS TO BENEFIT SCHOLARSHIPS
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.
- You do not have to be present to win the 50-50 raffle but you must be present to take home one of the 19 prizes for the gift basket raffle
- Tickets are 6 for $5, 14 for $10, and 30 for $20
- Access this link to see a LIST OF PRIZES
We recommend you buy your tickets early so that you can fill them out ahead of time. Or you might consider bringing some address labels with you. Cash or checks only please.
THERMAL TOTES
The green totes with gold quail have arrived.
They will go on sale at the Brunch on October 30 but if you need one or more before then, please contact pastpresident@womenqc.com or 207-6188 and she will make them available.
Cost is $7 each or 3 for $20.
