It’s that time of year again, when the SLAC community is invited to join in the festivities for a free lunch, good company, great entertainment and a raffle at the annual SLAC Holiday Party.

Lunch will be served in the cafeteria dining area starting at 11:30 a.m. Seating will be available in a tent behind the cafeteria. This year, Jeff Machado’s Elegant Cuisine will be catering the event with a buffet style menu to include oven roasted turkey, smoked ham with orange sauce, and vegetarian ravioli.

The party will feature lively jazz music played by the Leonard Webb Quartet in the big tent. Also, starting at 11:30 a.m. in the Auditorium there will be a showing of "Snowball Express," starring Dean Jones and Nancy Olsen.

At about 1 p.m. the raffle will commence. Don’t forget your ticket! This year’s prizes include: boxes of See’s candies, gift certificates to the Stanford Mall, and other great gifts. Human Resources will send out invitations with raffle tickets by December 16. A few extras will be made available for those who forget to bring their own.
