CTXPC Meeting DECEMBER 18th

The next meeting of our Club will take place on Wednesday, December 18th, 2024, 7-9 PM at the SOUTH AUSTIN SENIOR ACTIVITY CENTER, 3911 MENCHACA RD, 78704.

THIS MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE ONE WEEK EARLIER THAN USUAL SO AS NOT TO OCCUR ON CHRISTMAS DAY. 

Don’t let the “Senior” put you off, all ages are welcome, this is just the best venue that we could find, and it is free, so this is where we’re meeting!

The Club will provide homemade tamales, beverages, including hot apple cider, and plates and utensils; participate, if you like, by bringing along something festive and seasonal to eat in the pot-luck tradition!  

Our yearly *gift exchange is a fun aspect of the party wherein those who would like to are encouraged to bring a wrapped present containing postcards or something postcard-related and we have fun exchanging these random surprise gifts (explanation below).

Also at this meeting we will have this timely special presentation!

You are invited to experience THE MANY FACES OF 

SANTA CLAUS ON POST CARDS  

 presented by Kenneth Wukasch. 

The program will show the different ways to collect the image of Santa.

 Topics will include –

Hold-to-Light Santa’s

Silk Santa’s

Advertising on Santa’s

Trade Cards with Santa

And much much more

’By the way, this is also the time of year that the Club collects dues, only $10.00 for the entire year, so re-up and support the Club!

*THE GIFT EXCHANGE

In preparation for our Christmas/holiday party, you will want to be thinking about what you might bring for our annual gift exchange if you would like to participate in it. The idea is that anyone who would like to should bring some postcards (usually anywhere from several to 6 or 8 or so) or a postcard-related item, wrapped as a gift. We place them in a pile, draw numbers, and in the order of the numbers each participant picks a gift and opens it. When it is one's turn to open a gift, a participant may choose to not open a gift but take a gift that has already been opened that may appeal to them; the person who originally opened it must forfeit the gift but then they get to open another gift in its place. At the end, the person who drew number one and opened the first gift gets a chance to trade their gift for anyone else’s in the room.
