The Christmas party/ Casino night is a joint meeting with ASM/SME on FRIDAY DEC.4 at Dibbles Inn in Vernon. There will be a
super buffet & 2 hours of social hour with open bar (hopefully 1 hour before the dinner & 1 hour during the Casino games after the dinner).
It starts at 6:30 P.M., to allow people to go home & get their spouses, but singles and guests are encouraged to attend & will have fun too.

Prizes will be awarded after the casino games. The cost is $40 per person. If anyone wishes to donate items for prizes, such as gifts with their company logo or other items, please let either me or Pam Paulini know. Please RSVP to Pam Paulini, so that she can get an accurate head count. Her address for reservations & questions is pam.paulini@sherrillmfg.com and phone number is 315-361-3463.
