We had lots of fun at the last Masquerade so we though it might be a great opportunity
to dress up as you wish for the season. There may be some interesting characters floating about:

Presentations will be with the arrival of each attendee.
Please give your card to the announcer. (We will have 3x5 cards available).
Presentation of the Libations & Condiments (& consumption thereof) - Potluck is encouraged.
(We're thinking wine & cheese, -finger food, etc but who knows?). The buffet will be in the East wing suite

The wine tasting will commence at 9PM with Bob -AWC & Rhonda (Rhonnie)-LMT in the drop-in therapy room
It will begin with presentation of the first white & will evolve into the reds.
If you have a favorite you may bring it & show it off!

There will be Christmas Holiday music presentations. Jim will play Silent Night on the didgeridoo (didjeridu or didge)
Speeches & other acts further identifying or justifying yourself your character. This is indeed "open"
Each of us will have up to 2 minutes during the wine tasting to give your opinion of anything (incluuding the wine)
& to address the main roomful & give us your best routine. (Competition guidelines below)

Christmas caroles at 11PM for you & your character?

Oxygen therapy will be offered throughout the evening & will be pumped into the facility as needed.
