2020 Christmas Party Update
The FMA 2020 Christmas Party was a success. Here are the updates from the event.
At our November Morning Meeting, the topic of more networking events and being able to have fun with other members was a heavily discussed topic. Networking won out over any other benefit from the FMA. So we decided to produce an end of the year Christmas Party. And it was a great success! We plan on making this an annual event moving forward.
The event was held at the Hammock Bay Club House. We reserved the entire Club House to give our members and guests maximum freedom to move around and enjoy the event.
The scheduled time was 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. But we had members stay after and continue on visiting after the “official” end of the party.
We enjoyed delicious food that was prepared and provided by The Infinity Chef: BBQ pulled pork, baked beans and cole slaw. It was all delicious! We had so much that there were a ton of leftovers that members and guests actually took home on plates and in Solo cups. Apparently putting some BBQ and cole slaw in a Solo cup is a great way to save a combined snack or meal for later. Hahaha!
We had many members and some guests attend. Networking was apparent as you could walk by and hear multiple conversations about what people did, what others needed and potential for them to work together or use the services of others. That is what the members wanted. So, again…another success of the party!
The party seemed to allow many of the attendees to “let their hair down”, have fun, meet new people, become better acquainted with others and generally have a great time.
The party culminated in a giveaway. Merchants brought attention grabbing swag from their businesses, creative giveaway collections or other great gifts of value and entertainment. Everyone in attendance brought business cards, placed them in a bowl and if their card was drawn, they won the next giveaway. This was so much fun. Especially having the merchant describe what the winner got.
All in all it was a great end of the year event to bring some togetherness and merriment. As we said, this will be a new annual event. Thank you to all who attended, those who brought giveaways and especially to those who volunteered to make this happen.
We have one meeting left this year. We look forward to seeing you all at the December Morning Meeting.
