    What to Expect

    • Holiday Vibes: Business or Casual Holiday Attire

    • Member Perks: Free for members

    • Guest Tickets: $25 per guest

    • Cash Bar: Yes, indeed!

    • Toy Drive: Unwrapped toys for Toys for Tots

    • White Elephant Game: Bring one wrapped gift (under $20) if you want to play!

    Toys for Tots — Let’s Fill Roger’s Truck!

    We’re keeping our tradition alive and helping local kids in need. With the great demand this year, we’re hoping to load up Roger’s truck again—maybe even break last year’s record! Please bring one unwrapped toy per attendee from your family. Toys will be collected at check-in.

    White Elephant Fun

    Our newest tradition is back! When you register, just let us know if you’d like to join the game.

    Quick refresher:
    Everyone who plays brings one wrapped gift under $20. Names are drawn for the order of play. Pick a gift… or steal a gift! If yours is stolen, you can steal another or grab a new one. It’s always hilarious and a crowd favorite.

    Registration

    Seats are limited, so please RSVP by 5 PM on Thursday, December 4th.

    Vendors & Sponsors:
    Enter “0000” in the ACF ID field. Lynda Alfano will follow up to confirm details and payment.

    Gate Info

    Drivers must show their driver’s license at the gate. Tell the guard you’re attending the ACF Holiday Brunch, then head to the clubhouse.

    We can’t wait to celebrate the season, honor our award winners, and spend a joyful afternoon together!
