And here's the official flyer...

The Guild's hosted some great parties over the years, each one very memorable. They've invited everyone and I'm sure it wasn't cheap.

This time around, if I'm reading the invite right, it looks as if guests who aren't in the Guild will need to pay $5 to get in.

Charles -

Everyone will be welcome and no one will be charged. One of the original fliers proclaimed the party as a birthday celebration for President Filmore. This was an attempt at humor from Jeff Massie since the party falls on the same day.

The flier was not well received by some people whose sense of humor didn't quite match up with Jeff's. The text at the bottom of the flier you linked to was Jeff's humorous response to the response his original flier received.


So, if you are a supporter of President Filmore, a member of the Whig or Know Nothing Movement, and still want to attend, please find me when you arrive and I will gladly pay your $5 entrance fee out of my own pocket.

Hey, sounds good. Can't beat the free food, as well!

Free food and phoney smiles. Sorry, don't mean to rain on the parade, but so much goodwill has been destroyed by the Guild over the past couple of years, I've lost my enthusiasm for their parties. Having Bob Foster as president is helpful, but a lot of damage has been done.

In any case, January 6 is actually the traditional date for Christmas according to the old calendar, Julian as opposed to Gregorian. The Armenians celebrate Christmas on January 6 as do many in the Eastern Christian Church. Have fun on January 7 and celebrate the second Christmas Day of the season.
