    The Saguaro Room in Cottonwood

  Plans are progressing for our FUN Seasonal Celebration  at The Saguaro Room in Cottonwood (opposite the restaurant).

                    

  
  

         JOIN THE FUN AND PARTICIPATE IN THESE CHALLENGES

  Plans are made to have a 'FESTIVE HAT' contest (rather than an ugly sweater - but you're welcome to wear one).  We would like members to find a unique hat or add their own creations to a hat they already have  (decorate it with fabric scraps or embellishments) or make your own hat.  We will be voting on the most creative hat and awarding prizes.

  
  

  We would like everyone to bring an exchange gift ($15.00 max.) that is wrapped special - perhaps with fabric or in a unique box or wrapped in a creative way (idea = made to look like a Gingerbread House).

  
  

  All members are invited so please sign-up and pay for your lunch here,  Lunch costs $22.00.  Choose between 2 options:

  
  

     _____  Avocado & Turkey on Croissant    Lettuce, Tomato, Mayo, Avocado, Turkey and Provolone on a buttery Croissant with Fresh Fruit Cup.            

     _____ Garden Cobb Salad    Romaine, Iceberg, Roasted Chicken Breast, Bacon, Egg, Tomato, Avocado, Black Olives, Bleu Cheese Crumbles and choice of dressing.
