SPECIAL EVENT: New Year's Eve Party - Dancing, Karaoke, & Games

*** PLEASE READ ALL OF THE DESCRIPTION BELOW BEFORE RSVPing.***

WHAT: Get ready for a fun and fantastic night at Get Out Today RVA's Annual New Year's Eve Party! This year, We Cycle, Rock, and Stroll RVA group has teamed up with gotRVA to offer its members an alternative to spending New Year's Eve at some bar with strangers or home alone. Join fellow Meetup members in celebrating the new year with a midnight champagne toast, karaoke, games, delicious food, and great music. Don't miss out on this amazing night with friends!

KARAOKE: Before attending, please search on YouTube for karaoke songs that you would like to perform, and bring your song list to sing. We can't wait to hear you share your vocal talents!

In between karaoke performances, you are also welcome to play your favorite songs to dance to. You can play your songs from YouTube or from your device via Bluetooth.

If karaoke isn't your thing, I will also have tables and chairs set up for everyone to enjoy board and card games. We will have some fun games on hand, but please feel free to bring your favorite games. Maybe someone will join you!

If karaoke or games aren't your thing, there will be many people to socialize with and make new friends.

WHEN: December 31st. It starts around 7:00pm and goes until 2am or until the last person leaves. Please arrive no later than 10pm.

WHERE: Wembly Swim & Racquet Club - 1311 Gaskins Road, Henrico, VA. 23238. The clubhouse will be decorated to welcome in the New Year.

ATTENDEE LIMIT: The clubhouse has a limit of 60 people.

COST: **IMPORTANT INFORMATION**
In previous years, I have charged $30 per person to attend gotRVA's New Year's Eve Party. This charge was necessary because I typically spend around $800 to put on this event. This cost includes renting the clubhouse, decorating, food, meetup fees, and more.

This year, I am VERY excited to announce that this year's gotRVA's NYE Party will be COMPLETELY FREE! However, I still have significant expenses to cover, so I would greatly appreciate it if you would consider donating to help out. Any amount would be helpful. Thank you!

FOUR WAYS TO DONATE:
My CashApp account is $PowerPickleball
My Venmo account is @PowerPickleball - Verification code 5768
My Zelle account is my email: PowerPickleball@hotmail.com
Or at the NYE party. I will have gotRVA's donation can and APP QR Codes at the front door as you arrive.

Let's see if we can raise the $800 through donations.

ATTIRE: In the past, this event's dress code has been "dress to impress." While I enjoy seeing everyone dressed up, this year I want you to feel comfortable while still looking "classy." Please avoid wearing t-shirts and jeans. Thank you!

WHAT'S SUPPLIED: Clubhouse, All New Year-themed decorations, Set up and Clean up, BBQ Meatballs, Bread/rolls, Ice, plates, napkins, cups, utensils, etc., Champagne and Sparkling Cider to toast at midnight. Karaoke system and board games.

WHAT TO BRING: This event is potluck-style, so please bring a delicious side dish to share, along with your own beer, wine, or liquor. Also, don't forget to bring your party attitude and singing voice!

SCHEDULE FOR THE EVENING: 7:00pm - 10:00pm: When guests arrive, please hang your coat on the coat rack by the door and pick up your name tag. Place the food on the tables and the drinks at the bar. Enjoy the evening by eating, mingling, and singing.
