Our Christmas Show & Party is Dec 17 at Lester B Pearson in Aurora.  Start time is 7pm, and athletes should all be on site by 6:15.

Practice clothing (blacks)  jazz oxfords, hair & makeup as per competitions.

No admission fee, however, everyone is asked to contribute to our buffet table.   Tanya Heos & Marion Demetris are organizing  this (thanks!)

Guests are welcome,  but if you are bringing more than your immediate family, extra food contributions would be appreciated.

Below - please see note from Elaine, who is organizing our Kris Kringle gift Exchange and from Marion & Tanya regarding the party:

Merry Christmas!! 

As we begin the holiday season with the fun-filled parades over the next few weeks, I'd like to also "get the ball rolling" with another great Spectrum North tradition:  The Kris Kringle Gift exchange.

This weekend, after the Newmarket Parade, each athlete will draw a name for the Kris Kringle Gift Exchange which will take place at the Spectrum North Christmas Show and Party on Thursday, Dec. 17/09.   After the great performances by the club members, we'll have some holiday goodies and then exchange gifts among the girls.  A guideline for the gift value is $10 - $15.   

Please make sure that the gift you bring has the name of the recipient on the outside of the bag/package.  If you are bringing other children with you to the show and are worried they may feel left out of the fun then feel free to bring your own gift for those children to receive from Santa (make sure first and last names go on the outside of those gifts so there is no confusion!).  Please give your Kris Kringle gifts to Elaine Culnan as you arrive for the evening so we can set up and be ready for the fun to begin.  If you won't be attending the show, please make sure that you let me know and we'll arrange to get your gift in advance - we don't want any of our athletes to miss out that evening.

If you have any questions about the Kris Kringle Gift Exchange, please call me (905-954-0879) or email. 

Thanks very much!  We're looking forward to another great parade season and a wonderful Christmas party!

Regards,

Elaine Culnan
