2019 Christmas Social on 12/18 – Reserve early!

Reservations are now being accepted for the Pond’s 2019 Christmas Social, which will be held on Wednesday, December 18 at the Virginia War Memorial.  Family members and guests are welcome!!!

The event cost is $45/pp when paid by the RSVP deadline and $50 thereafter, and includes food, beverages (wine, beer and soft drinks), access to all exhibits, plus great fellowship!  RSVP’s are requested by 12/13 in order to make sure we have enough food and beverages!

The venue will be closed to the public during the event.  An optional private group tour of the memorial and new renovations is being offered at 5:30 pm, just prior to the social.  For those who have not visited the memorial, it is a wonderful monument to the men and women who have defended our Country from WWII to the present. Its location offers a beautiful view of the James River and Richmond City skyline, which will be decorated for the holiday season.  

December Charity – As is our holiday tradition, attendees are encouraged to bring a donation for the USO center at the Richmond Int’l Airport.  The USO provides hospitality to thousands of troops and their families during the holiday season.  Needs include individual size snacks and beverages, travel size toiletries, and cash/gift cards.

Prize raffle tickets will also be sold at this event with all proceeds going to the USO.  Raffle prize donations are welcome!

We hope you and your guest(s) will join us!

Another Shuckin’ Hit for CZC

We are very pleased to report another successful October social and charity fundraiser!

The weather unfortunately did not cooperate and forced us to move inside.  But the room was very spacious and comfortable, and provided a cozy atmosphere for the event.  The Richmond  Country Club did an excellent job with the food and service.  Our musician, Bethany Gates, is very talented and gracious.  All in all, it was a wonderful evening and a very successful fundraiser for Comfort Zone Camp (CZC).  Check out the album on our photos page.

We would like to thank everyone who came out for the evening and especially the event sponsors.  Thanks also to the event coordinator, Rick Bulifant, who did an awesome job with the arrangements.

We are already looking forward to next year!
