Title: What a GREAT Christmas Party
Post by: lovebus (jack) on December 05, 2009, 06:47:42 pm
Thanks to the BOD's for another great Christmas Party, outstanding job guys!!! :icon_cheers:

I know we had over 60 in attendance this year and about 10 or more then last year. Bob should be able to give a final count.

The food was also great again and thanks Greg for playing before dinner, great job Greg. Joe, your song was funny and a real treat.

Great job to everyone.

Had a great time! I will need better table reservations for next year - just kidding Dan.
Bob and Joe - FANTSTIC job! The food - great. The service - even better.
I was even entertained by the live music - good job Greg.
Can't wait for next year.

We are going to have a limit on early prizes per family,,,,right?

Had a rough start with faulty equipment. Luckily I was able to plug my iPod into the podium! A nice mix of the old technology and the new. My CD player found a new home in the trash. I'm glad you all enjoyed my playing, and the party was top knotch. I know we say it every year but it will be tough to top this one next year!! Bob and Joe are the best hosts ever!! I didn't break out the puzzle books because I haven't slept since 2:00pm on Friday!!

Boy... driving home in that mess in the bug was scary and fun at the same time... nothing like frozen over wet brake drums, fogged up windshield and an engine suffering more from the cold than yourself.
On the other hand, I didn't break traction once, my Corolla is horrible in the snow/ice.

May take a little longer, but your Volkswagen will always take you where you need to go.

Jack and guys,

the final count was around 58 people and 2 kids. This was the biggest party SJVWC has ever hosted and I think the best!

Bob and Joe - FANTSTIC job!

Guys thanks for the kind words but it was a team effort !  bronz_cup-winner silver_cup_winner goldwinner

Many thanks to Prez Joe, he busted butt and found the time to shop for all the great gifts, his VW bus song ( ala Willie Nelson ) was great and should make a GREAT sing along at future events ( should I say camping trips ) also many thanks to Mrs Prez & Gina, Joes wife and daughter for taking the time to produce those great grab bags and presents for the dubious awards!  :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumleft: :icon_thumleft:
 
I have to mention Marc 3 gear and girlfriend ( sorry I forget your name!  ./// ) for coming in early and helping out. They are the reason the tables and prize area looked so good !  Everytime something had to be done Marc was right there with "I gotcha covered! " ( Besides he does a really great "Tim Allen" - might just be next years entertainment! )  :icon_thumright: :icon_geek: :icon_thumleft:

Ups to John for watching the door and manning the guest list plus the grab bags. This wasn't a small thing since we needed to keep a head count for both the club and Taylors and lots of thanks for doing such a great job!  :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:

Same goes to Jack for his help, I know everybody is waiting for the video and stills he took so this party won't be forgotten for a long time.  :icon_thumright: movi- :icon_thumleft:

And Greg! Damn I never heard Christmas music played on a trombone but you pulled it off and it was great! A nice touch which I think everybody really enjoyed plus it set a nice mood when folks started to arrive!

As always you can't forget our members since having everybody there is the reason these events are a huge success! It was great to see everybody and even some new folks. Supporting these kind of events is what this club is all about and again we've got the best group around!  :icon_thumright: :icon_thumleft:

Yes sir, it was a great party. And as always with the club events, when ya think it  can't get any better,  it always does.  Well done every one.
Hey Frank, can you hold my raffle tickets for a little while next year? LoL

Hello Everyone,    My wife and I had a great time at the party.  It was great to meet more members and their wives. I can't wait for spring to arrive, so I can meet even more members and see all of the different cars.  The new guy Will Santana.

Hey if this club can "Rock" with 58 people imagine what we can do with a couple of thousand! Think of Punch Buggy as "One very big Party" ! I know we can pull that one off!

  I want  to thank everyone who attended our fourth annual Christmas party. Without a doubt it was the best one ever.
 I want to thank Greg (majic-lips) for the trumbone solo. It made the event really special.-Oh by the way Greg, you forgot your tip-jar. Bob did a great job on the VW quize- I guess now it has to be a permenant feature for all our upcoming parties.
I would just like to say again what Bob said; John did a great job with the grab bags and Karen did an outstanding job on decorating the tables.

  It really takes all year to pull this off. As soon as it was over Bob and I are working on next years.

Oh yeah, I  must not forget to thank you all for singing along.

Great party!  Thanks to our 2 hosts, Bob & Joe for all the work leading up to and on the day of the event.  Hope you enjoyed your authentic VW car wash kits - it was the least I could do for all you've done for the club!

I'm getting my [door prize] hat embroidered with the  sjvwc.ico logo and I can't wait to sport it soon (hurry up Jay...jk)   :icon_cheesygrin:

We'll defintiely bring the lighter and the fire-putter-outer to the next camping trip (we're thinking that will be Granny grose's Campout in May) so anyone that wants to keep partying, join us for a camp-out!  [Gotta live up to our award as "biggest campout promoters"]

Thanks to everyone that helped make the Christmans party happen and to the whole club for a good time!!!   Ghug

 Thanks Michelle:

  I finally got to unpacking the many boxes form the Party. The VW gift box is really something special,
It has the best designed brush for spoke wheels. And get this, a portable VW basket. It will now be a permenant part of our meetings for drawing tickets.

  Thanks again Michelle for the perfect gift.
