Chapter Holiday Party
WE ARE… celebrating the season together!
You’re invited to join the Greater Tampa Bay Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association for our annual Chapter Holiday Party — a warm, family-friendly gathering filled with great food, fellowship, and festive spirit.
📅 Saturday, December 13
🕓 4:00–7:00 PM
📍 Hosted at the home of Board Member, Kurt Heinemann
Heinemann House
6916 Arabian Road
Odessa, FL 33556
For months we’ve shared reminders across our weekly emails, Facebook, and our chapter website — and now the celebration is finally here! Bring your Blue & White cheer as we close out an amazing year together.
🎁 What to Expect
• A full homemade holiday spread courtesy of Val, including ham, pasta rolls, meatballs, sausage & peppers, and baked ziti
• Wine & beer (Yuengling) provided by the chapter
• Salad provided by Sandy
• Desserts provided by you — bring your favorites to share!
• One case of bottled water for the beverage table
• Great conversation, community, and Penn State pride
🎅 Giving Back
While Toys for Tots was considered this year, past challenges with timely delivery make participation difficult. We will revisit charity partners for future events.
🪑 Logistics & Needs
• Extra chairs needed — Val will coordinate with Kurt and deliver the day before
• Severe allergy note: Please do not bring seafood of any kind
• Budget: $500 (costs historically low, with reusable supplies from last year)
🎟️ RSVP Required
To ensure we have enough food and seating, please RSVP by December 10 with the number of people attending.
