OPEN HOUSE RECEPTION - HOLIDAY BOUTIQUE Now that the Boutique is open, we want to show it off! On Friday, December 13, from 6-8pm, we'll have an open house/reception at the Boutique. We'll have light refreshments, music by Clarence Mamaril and a chance to buy all your holiday gifts! We also hope to have our Mosaic Art Project set up so you can be "a part of the art." We're almost finished tiling the third panel, so this may be your last chance to help. The reception is open to the public and we hope you will tell all your friends. We'll keep you posted on all the latest on our Facebook page. |

ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP DINNER - JANUARY 26 Each year in January, we hold our annual Membership Dinner Meeting. At this meeting we present the annual report and elect Board Members to fill any open seats. In addition, we try to include a program or guest speaker to make it an educational opportunity as well as a good chance to meet ACAF members in a casual setting. This year we're excited to announce that our meeting will be at the new Laso Restaurant, located at 101 Antonina Ave. in American Canyon. We'll meet at 6pm for networking and dinner will start at 6:30. We'll have the business meeting at approximately 7pm, with the program immediately thereafter. The cost is $45 for members and $55 for non-members. RSVP by Tuesday, January 21. You can RSVP/pay online or download the form and mail it to ACAF. We'll have more information on the program in our January Newsletter, but for now, save the date: Sunday, January 26, 2020! |

Marketplace Recap Because of the storm, we scaled back the size of the market (the City needed the covered space to keep activities away from the rain). There was still Christmas Wreaths for sale, along with lighted toys, snacks made by the Boy Scouts and of course, our See's Candies. |

Mosaic Art Update We held our last workshop of the year on Nov. 16, and we plan to finish the tiling portion during our Holiday Boutique. Then we work on framing and installing the art! We're hoping for the reveal this Spring! |
