MCDS Annual Election Meeting & Holiday Social

🗳️🎄 Join Us for Our Annual Election Meeting & Holiday Social! 🥂

Don’t miss out on our most important (and fun!) gathering of the year! We’re blending crucial organizational business—our Annual Election Meeting—with a festive Holiday Social that promises good food, great company, and plenty of laughs.

This is your chance to have your voice heard, connect with fellow members and staff, and kick off the holiday season in style!

What to Expect & Why You Should Attend

• Your Voice Matters (The Meeting): Participate in the Annual Election Meeting to cast your vote and hear updates that will shape the future of our organization (Slate to be announced week of Dec 1). This is a vital opportunity to engage directly with the decision-making process.

• Feast and Mingle (The Dinner): Enjoy a wonderful family-style dinner. It’s the perfect setting to relax, network, and enjoy a delicious meal.

• The Ultimate Style Battle (The Contest): Dig out your most hideous, bedazzled, and embarrassing garment for a legendary Ugly Sweater Contest! Who has what it takes to be crowned the winner? Prizes will be awarded for the most outrageously festive attire. The uglier, the better!

• Community Connection: Reconnect with old friends and make new ones in a warm, festive atmosphere.

Date: Thursday, December 11
