Appreciation Christmas Pizza Party for CFPS

It has become a tradition for our chapter members to host a Pizza Party for the entire team at Central Florida PowerSports at Christmas as a token of our appreciation for being our sponsor.

On Saturday, December 23,  members of the Board along with club members will be onsite @ CFPS during the morning and early afternoon hours to show our appreciation. We ask that members in the area stop in and wish the team a Very Merry Christmas. Because lunch is sponsored by our members and not the club, those that have donated to lunch and wish to join us please by at CFPS by 11:30.  It is important that if you are looking to join us for lunch that you sign up and help with the donation. 

In addition to lunch, Jenn and I also plan to deliver a very special Christmas gift to the team at CFPS on behave of our chapter. If you are in the area, please join us.
