Donkey Madness Is Coming to SaddleBrooke!
Get Your Ticket Today
for SBDC’s ‘Donkey Madness’ Party!
By Karen Schickedanz
Ticket sales are brisk for the SaddleBrooke Democratic Club’s October 29 “Donkey Madness” party.
The party, featuring dinner, games, a silent auction and an optional costume contest, will begin at 5 p.m. in the SaddleBrooke Clubhouse with appetizers and a no-host bar. An hour of fun games and socializing will precede the barbecue dinner.
Party-goers who wish to come in costume as a political figure—from any time period in the U.S. or elsewhere—can participate in a costume parade and contest. Among the prizes to be awarded will be those for the most original, best historical, funniest, most extreme and ugliest costumes.
Another highlight of the evening will be a silent auction with a variety of prizes ranging from a week of cat sitting, airport transportation, a “high tea” party, and hosted foreign dinners to one-week condo stays at Pismo Beach in California and Rosarita Beach in Mexico.
Because seating is limited, those interested in attending should contact Mark Griffith for tickets as soon as possible. He can be reached via e-mail at mark@skomer.net or at 825-3219. If tickets are still available, they also will be sold at SBDC’s regular monthly meeting at 3 p.m. Saturday, October 13 at the SaddleBrooke Activities Center, 64518 Galveston Lane.
Tickets are $35 per person, with a $10 discount if you are a Democratic precinct committee person. There is a special package if you want to be a sponsor/Democratic “Party Boss.” For a minimum of four purchased tickets for $200, you will receive preferred seating, a sponsor program listing, and a bottle of wine.
Volunteers still are needed to help plan the party. Please call Alan and Harriet Schultz, co-chairs of the event, at 825-7658 to volunteer.
