Join us at the historic Exchequer Restaurant & Pub in the loop on Thursday, December 11 for CAA’s annual holiday party! Pizza and salad will be in abundance, shiny prizes will be raffled, and festive fun will surely be had.

All CAA members, CAA listserv subscribers, CAMA and CARA members, friends, and students are welcome! This year we are offering multiple types of tickets:

  • $45 - Member ticket + sponsored ticket - pays for you and also a CAA member (or former member) who is currently experiencing an unexpected absence of income*
  • $20 - Member ticket
  • $25 - Nonmember ticket
  • $10 - Partially-sponsored ticket - intended for CAA members who have a restricted income, like students, retirees, or underemployed workers
  • $0 - Fully sponsored ticket - intended for CAA members (or former members) who have an unexpected absence of income

We know this year has been difficult in many ways, and we want to make sure we can celebrate with each other.  If you can, make sure to renew your membership before purchasing your ticket to take advantage of the $10 and $20 member rates. 

Your ticket gets you buffet-style thin-crust and deep-dish pizza, house and Caesar salad, along with two drink tickets that can purchase beer, wine, or well drinks. Your ticket also gets you a chance to win a fabulous raffle prize!

We will try to accommodate dietary needs as best as we can - if you need vegan and/or gluten free options, please indicate on the registration form or email gretchenneidhardt@gmail.com by Thursday, December 4th.
