Arizona AEG Holiday Celebration

Dear AEG Members, Professional Colleagues, Students, and Friends:

The Arizona Section of AEG is very pleased to announce our First Annual Holiday Party, which will be held on Thursday, December 18th. You are all invited to attend at the Arizona Museum of Natural History in Mesa. Registration will begin at 5:30 PM and we will be allowed after-hours access to view the museum's exhibits until 7 PM, at which time the dinner buffet will commence. Dinner will be catered by La Parrilla Suiza, and the menu will consist of mini beef chimichangas, mini chicken flautas, cheese enchiladas, beef tacos, and rice, beans, chips and salsa.

Complimentary beverages will also be served during the reception period from 5:30 to 7. Please refer to the attached flyer for more details.

We are pleased to announce that the meeting will be sponsored by HDR, Basin & Range Hydrogeologists, and EnviroDrill in order to cover some of the costs.

Please bring your loved ones and friends. The meeting dues are as follows:

$5 Students
$25 Members
$30 Non-Members
$15 Spouses/Guests
$10 Kids
$50 Max for Families

We will not be featuring a speaker and presentation since this will be more of a social/networking event. However, we will be hosting a silent auction, which currently includes mineral specimens, maps, and books. We are trying to arrange for sports paraphernalia, as well, to incite interest from our non-geologist guests. We will announce the winners after dinner.

As you can imagine, with an event like this, it will be important to provide an accurate head count to the caterer. Please RSVP to me at hhespeler@ninyoandmoore.com by Tuesday, December 16th. I hope to see all of you there!
