Party Schedule

3-4pm, you have the choice of socializing in the Millyard Museum’s Discovery Gallery, a guided tour at the Millyard Museum, or you can visit the SEE Science Center (upstairs) to play for half price $4.50/pp.

4pm, the museum closes to the public and we will quickly get the tables set up and get out the ‘hot and heavy’ Hors d’oeuvres and refreshments. You won’t go hungry – unless you want to.

4:30pm Yankee Swap (bring a wrapped $10 item if you want to participate) while socializing and eating.

5:30pm we will have the prize drawings.

Planned menu: potato skins with bacon; breaded chicken tenders; assorted sandwich wraps, salad, meatballs, grilled chicken tenders, fruit, bottled water, veggies, assorted finger foods and tons of desserts!

We will not be having a formal sit-down luncheon like usual. We will have table seating for about 50 and chairs scattered around. Food is designed for a social-style party.
