2025 SCGS Holiday Party and Benefit

 

Monday, December 1 at 6:00 PM

You are invited to join the SCGS Holiday Party on December 1! Our Holiday Party will once again be held at Eldon and Clara’s very One Particular House (OPH) with the Taco Bar and Grill dinner with beverages (adult and/or otherwise) provided.

We will be arranging for a tent on the patio in case of inclement weather and a shuttle service to alleviate the parking difficulties. Shuttle pick-up location and other details will be sent via emails on Saturday, Monday morning, and Monday afternoon to those who register.

We encourage you to bring geological books, maps, specimens, wine, and other geology-related items to donate for the silent auction. Of course, there will be a holiday sweater contest as well, with prizes including meeting and field trip vouchers.

Audrey will also be selling her artwork, with portion of proceeds supporting SCGS. The ‘Tree of Life’ sculptures are made from gemstone and glass set on various types of rock. Excellent gift idea. Check out the image below for details!

This is the third consecutive year that Eldon and Clara will host the SCGS December meeting, which is a tremendous break for SCGS. To show appreciation for Eldon and Clara’s hospitality, this year SCGS is (requiring) guests to bring something to donate to their chosen charity, Volunteers in Defense of Animals (VIDA), which specializes in Baja rescue dogs and is where they adopted their dog Moreno. Dog food (any kind) and/or used blankets or towels are always needed. We lowered the ticket price this year, so please stop at the grocery store and pick up some dog food 🙂

Of course, your tax-deductible cash donation is also accepted Donate — VIDA Rescue. Thanks.

Thank you to our corporate sponsors whose generous donations help make these events sustainable!
