HO HO HO......PARTY TIME

Posted on Nov 29, 2017

Speaking about the holidays, the Rotary Club of San Jose East/Evergreen will be holding our Christmas party in a larger venue this year at the Grace Church. We are doing this to make it more of a community event to share with our neighbors. If you have not yet been to a Rotary club meeting or assisted us on a community project, please plan on coming to the party. You will have the chance to meet and mingle with the members of the Rotary club and your neighbors from around the Bay Area. This will give you a marvelous overview of why so many of us have a real deep seated passion for Rotary. You will enjoy yourself.

The meal will be buffet style including 3 appetizers, entree, and a dessert. It is catered by Rajjot Indian Cuisine of Evergreen. Rajjot is in the holiday spirit and has been kind enough in their pricing so that we only have to charge $15.00 per person. Pastor John Goldstein of Grace Church has worked with us to keep costs down to use the church’s banquet hall. Pastor John is also the President Elect of the Rotary Club of San Jose East/Evergreen and is the idea man that developed this event. We look forward to working with him when he takes over as President July 1, 2018 – especially since he will continue to use his passion for Rotary to develop innovative programs like this party and effective community projects.

The URL will take you to EVENTBRITE to purchase your tickets. If you are not comfortable purchasing tickets online, get in touch and club members will assist you.
