2008 Holiday & Volunteer Recognition Party
Celebrate this holiday season by joining your fellow EWGALI members at a special Holiday Party on Tuesday, December 9th at The Westbury Manor. The holiday spirit soared at last year's gathering with food, drink and merriment .. so this year we've added more room and are planning to kick the celebration up a notch.

As a gift to our members, the chapter is subsidizing the cost of this event. The party is open to nonmembers as well. Know someone who might be interested in joining EWGALI? This is a great event to introduce them to the organization.

Join the board of directors in thanking the many volunteers contributing their time and talent throughout the year that allows our chapter to offer the great variety and number of programs, services and events to you.
 
Make your reservation today online at www.ewgali.org by registering with your credit card OR by downloading the registration form to mail-in with your payment. RSVP by November 28th!

We have a lot to celebrate! Help us do so in bringing our 2008 season to a close.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
