Dear EMHS Members and Friends,

The EMHS Christmas Party will be on December 13^th at the Mayfield Twp. Hall, 1900 N. Saginaw, Lapeer, MI 48446.  This is our regular meeting place located just south of the point of M-24 and N. Saginaw, (the driveway just north of the Cemetery).  The time-line for the evening is as follows;

5:00 PM- Open doors to Hall for Decorating
6:00 PM- Networking, set-up refreshments, Sign-in
6:30 PM- Welcome and Introduce Visitors Dinner Served
7:15 PM- Business Meeting
7:45 PM- Gift Exchange

This annual event is always a lot of fun and a great way to end the year for the club.  The Club will provide the meat (ham) and table set-ups.  We do ask that everybody bring a dish to pass as this is our biggest potluck of the year. 

We will be doing the gift exchange as we have done in the past.  If you are interested in exchanging gifts, all you have to do is bring a wrapped non-gender-specific gift with a value of $10.  All the gifts will be laid on a table in the room and during the party we will call names from the sign-up sheet of the people who brought gifts.  When your name is called you go pick out a gift.  Nobody is required to bring a gift for the exchange, but if you do not bring one please understand that you will not be able to place your name on the list to pick one out.  This is the only way to assure that all people who bring a gift will receive one.

 So everybody can mark their 2019 calendars with the 2019 EMHS dates, I am including the following:
