Holiday Party Recap

Tuesday night was our annual GLMQG Holiday Party at University Roadhouse. We had our favorite back room again (Thanks Stephanie and Pam for setting that up and confirming!). It was so nice to see everyone, and fun to see the festive sweaters several ladies wore! And...it didn't snow this year to make the driving tough. 


Here are the ornament exchange recipients with their new decor - so many creative ideas!






Thanks to everyone who came! Looking forward to seeing you all in 2024!

2023 Holiday Party Information

Hi Everyone,

We will be hosting our holiday party on Tuesday, December 5 at 6:00 pm at the University Roadhouse in Kalamazoo.  Please mark you calendars!  Hope you can come.  

Food and drinks will be available "dutch treat" from the menu

We will also have a swap, if you'd like to participate.  It is not at all required that you participate in the swap if you attend the holiday party.  Please come, even if you don't want to participate in the swap.  Lots of people do that, so it's totally fine!

For our swap this year, please make an ornament to exchange.  If you bring one, you'll go home with one.  If not, just come for the fun and fellowship.

Here are the parameters:  

  • Make an ornament that could either hang on a tree or an ornament hanger.  
  • Try to make it "modern" in aesthetic -- consider colors, design, materials.  
  • Make something that will make your friend feel special. 
  • Bring your ornament wrapped in a box or in a gift bag.  
  • We will assign numbers to each gift brought and anonymously swap.
  • Need ideas? Check out our Pinterest board!

We look forward to seeing everyone at the event.  We can't wait to see what you all come up with for your ornaments!

See you soon,

GLMQG Board Members
