It also gave December 16 as the last day to contribute to the Ellen Welke Memorial Toy Drive.

  3. The announcement gives a detailed December 31 program: a 7:30–9:30 happy hour, Doghouse Boodlers and friends afterward, a midnight buffet, raffles, and $10 admission. A follow-up says the event would benefit Holy Cross Hall electrical repairs and possibly a kitchen-dishwasher fund, while requesting volunteers. It is an organizer announcement, not a proceeds or attendance report.

  4. Several attendees praised the December 31 event as a successful renewal of a traditional Hall party, mentioning intergenerational musicians, dancing, and a late night. These are participant recollections, not an attendance count, proceeds report, or independent event audit.
