Come on out and join us for our annual AOC HOLIDAY SOCIAL

It's our biggest social of the year and it's being held at:

East Andrews Upstairs
56 East Andrews Drive
Atlanta, GA 30305


Date: Tuesday, December 9th 2014

Time: Starts at 7 pm, so don't miss the fun.


Desserts are being provided by our AOC members.

We'll be introducing the 2015 Executive team and Member Ambassadors.

Once again, we'll be participating in the Toys for Tots program sponsored by the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve. Their mission is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted. We are hoping that our AOC members can help them with their mission.





We will also be collecting non-perishable food items for the Atlanta Community Food Bank

 

 

The Holiday season is about giving and we would like to ask our members and/or guests to help donate food for the Atlanta Community Food Bank...

Items needed and accepted are as follows:

  • Peanut Butter
  • Canned Tuna
  • Canned Beans
  • Canned Soups, Stews and Pastas
  • 100% Fruit Juice
  • Canned Fruits and Vegetables

  • Whole Grain, Low Sugar Cereals

(Please make sure all food items are non-perishable)

So bring your donated items to the AOC Holiday social, drop your items in our provided donation bins and we'll deliver to the Atlanta Community Food bank.. It's that simple, but hope you can help!

Come see why the Atlanta Outdoor Club is truly Atlanta's Premier Outdoor Club!

This annual holiday gathering is a great opportunity to meet and network with fellow club members, officers and trip leaders. It's a casual setting, which allows everyone to mingle around and talk about the great outdoors.

How about the Check Please!!! We have our own bar and will have "cocktail service" for the evening. This means the wait staff will split out the bill per person*.

* When you show up, place your order at the bar. The East Andrews staff will take your credit card and hold your tab open or let you pay by cash per drink. This not only allows you to move about the area freely, but also allows you to pay your tab if you need to leave early with no hassles because you don't have to wait until the group bill shows up!

Drink Responsibly: The Atlanta Outdoor Club encourages responsible drinking.

 


 

Your hosts for the evening will more than likely include a few of the following:

  • Michele Spence - President
  • Laura V. - Vice President
  • Jenn Howle - Vice President
  • Michelle Spence - Director of Recruitment and Social Activities
  • Lisa A. - Member Ambassador
  • John Stirman - Member Ambassador
  • AND of course many of our awesome Trip Leaders and other Volunteers!!
