Yes, I'm finding out the same thing... Saturdays are pretty much unavailable. I'll re-ask on the following Sundays to see if there is any opening: Dec. 6, 12, and 19. Hopefully something will be found or become available whether it be in Tacoma, Bellevue, Tukwilla or Seattle. I'm flexible and don't mind traveling an hour+ for a get together with my MINI friends.
Oh... and I vote for a Sunday only because I have to work both Dec. 5 & 12 (which are Saturdays). However, I do have Dec. 19th off and it's okay with me to have it close to Christmas, but I'm guessing a lot of family gatherings are happening on that last Saturday before Christmas.
Also, a "thank you" to Judy-Jo for her efforts on getting this going before it's too late. We do appreciate all that you do for the club.

Thanks John for looking into that one. I am sad, but not surprised they don’t have either the 5th or 12th available. It would have been an excellent venue for us. I am afraid there just wouldn't be enough time for everyone to get to Bellevue on a Friday evening, with the traffic and the crazy commute for the south enders. But, could you check into whether they have an opening for Sunday? That's certainly another good option. At this point, having "many" options are a good thing.

Friday would work for me if it happened down the street from my house. But I thought the same. I'll ask about Sundays also. I think we'll get a lot more options if Sundays work.
Oh, Steph and I will help in any way we can. So just ask.

Thanks Beth. I will start looking into Sundays as well. Maybe there will be more of a chance for that day.

Let's start thinking about getting this Christmas Bash 2009 Committee together, hopefully some evening next week. ??? I am hoping to get a few more estimates in by then. Please, I would love to have as many of you on it as possible. If you are interested, let me know and the evening that would work best. Oh, a location would be good too. Ideas? This is going to be so much fun!

As sole organizer of a similar holiday event for a different group, I simply do not have time to help a lot with another. But, I do appreciate all the efforts you and others will put forth, and I'll drive anywhere and eat anything put in front of me. Thank you Judy-Jo and Mark.

F.Y.I. - I'm not trying to "push" to have it at Tacoma just because it's closer to me. It's just a huge savings considering the general public would have to put out $1,150 (with the $300 damage deposit returned). The $200 the club would be charged is a steal. Also, if the club ends up having it on the 12th, I'll have to try to get the day off as I'm working. It's totally okay with me if the club happens to decide to hold the party on a Sunday somewhere up north near Seattle.

We've announced this at a few events, but I've been meaning to get a post out to everyone that the new Seattle MINI in Lake City is going to clear out their showroom and we're planning to have the Christmas Party there on December 12th. Still working out all the details on timing, etc., but it will be a great venue and it was nice of Manfred to offer that to us. Save the date! Linda

Linda - Are we going to start a different thread or clean this one up a bit? I'm hoping I can get the day traded off as I'm working on Dec. 12th. I wouldn't want to miss it for the world.

AWESOME! What great news!
I'm SO excited for this year's Xmas Mini bash!
One thing I thought would be funny, if people want to, no biggie if they don't.
IS an ugly sweater contest/party. So everyone would don their ugliest/tackiest Christmas Sweater and I'd like to give a prize for Tackiest/Ugliest sweater. It's a fun winter party game we can vote on them. Just an idea though !

Are we going to start a new thread on this? A link should probably be provided to the new thread before closing/locking this one if so...
On a positive note... I was able to get December 12 traded off (I originally had to work that day)!!!
Today is my payback day (I'm working). I can hardly wait to dress up my MINI in its Christmas costume!

My daughter has said several times in years past that I have some "ugly" Christmas Sweaters. And I always thought that I was stylish and festive. So, I am in for the "ugly" sweater contest if others are. Good idea!

I stopped by the dealership last weekend. They were still working on things and aren't open yet, but I got a tour. They are very excited about working with the club on this and other events. This should be a lot of fun.
