HOLIDAY PARTY - A SLIGHT CHANGE IN PLANS   

The Holiday Party, originally planned for December 9th at the US Grant, has been magically changed into three events!   The "Lots of surprises, great food, a specially concocted drink, live music...oh we could go on and on..." event will be moved to Spring, 2015 so that we are not competing in such a busy time. 

But you haven't missed the Holiday Party - on Monday December 8th at 6:00 pm, SDPC members and their guests are invited to Dobson's for Holiday Happy Hour! No cover charge, just no-host bar at happy hour prices and tray-passed appetizers.  We will have the upstairs area with limited seating so please reserve your space here.

And we have signed on for MingleBells! December 11th.

Celebrate the holiday season with professionals from all areas of the media and advertising industries.  The theme this year is a Holiday Hoedown! So expect some western surprises as you meet and mingle with over 550 of San Diego's most creative people in the world of advertising, marketing, communications, broadcast, and graphic design.


E
njoy delicious appetizers and win spectacular raffle prizes. Then stay for the after party and take in all that the new venue Moonshine Flats has to offer.
