Good afternoon Parrot Heads,
It is hard to believe, but just six short weeks from tonight, PHoPS will be hosting our annual Christmas Party. Plans have been in the works for several months to stage one of our best parties ever!!
On Saturday, December 13th, we will be returning to the Burien Elks Lodge #2143 for an evening of food, music, dancing, fun, and of course, a “Party with a Purpose.” This year we are pleased to present “Turn Left on Blue“, a 10-piece band rockin’ the greatest hits from to 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s.
This party is FREE for PHoPS members and once again will include a pasta buffet dinner!! Non-PHoPS members are welcome to attend for $20.00 per person, but that fee includes a PHoPS membership for 2026!!
It is absolutely critical that you RSVP for this party no later than December 3rd, as we need to provide the Elks Lodge chef a head count for the dinner!! If you do not RSVP by December 3rd, you can still attend, but you will NOT receive the dinner. To RSVP for the Christmas party, please go to the link below and fill out the RSVP template.
Here is the pertinent information …
