It is nearly time for the NPARC Christmas party! Last year's party was a great get-together for everyone who attended. Why not make a date to not only come yourself, but to also bring someone who is special to you. This is a time to relax, enjoy a pleasant time together, tell a few lies and enjoy a great meal. Perhaps even win a door prize!
This year the Christmas Party is on Friday December the 4th and the location is the North China Buffet, 525 Welland Avenue in St. Catharines. The price is $20.00 per person.
Please, let Geddie VE3CJX know if you you'll be attending and how many tickets that you'll need. You can get a hold of her by email at vice-president@nparc.ca.
