Holiday Party, Toy Drive and Trim A Tree
It's time for our annual Holiday Party and this year we've decided that Orange Ale House needs a Christmas Tree But we don't have any ornaments. So we've decided to ask for donations of unique or special ornaments. In turn we'll number and record whose donation it is and we will also donate $10 for every ornament to The Make-Wish-Foundation. Plus you'll get a $5 off coupon too. So find an ornament you can part with and bring it to O.A.H. We're gonna have our holiday Party on December 23rd with food and an open bar from 6-7pm. That night, we are asking for donations of an unwrapped toy for underprivilaged children in the New Haven area. Our Trim-a-tree for Make-a- Wish is good for all of December till Christmas.
