Grand Christmas Gala

Happy holidays from the French and Italian Consulate!

We of the French and Italian consulates cordially invite you to join us for an evening of food, drink, and dancing to celebrate the Christmas season. Please join us on December 20th at 9 pm in the Grand Salon dressed in your holiday best as we share in the good cheer and camaraderie of the season. Formal attire is strongly encouraged.

Prior to joining the festivities, be sure to admire the Gallery of Trees in the hallway. Six festively decorated evergreens will be on display themed around each of the consulates who share this fine city with us. We encourage you to leave cards, small sentiments, and tiny tokens within the boughs of each tree to share in the sense of community and togetherness we aim to foster.

There will be an anonymous gift exchange at the event, so be sure to send or bring a gift valued up to 50f to share in the exchange during dinner and dancing in the main ballroom. Raise your glass and your voice as we spread the joy and happiness of the season together.

As we celebrate the birth of Our Lord Jesus and in the spirit of generosity and selflessness he represents, we will be hosting a silent auction in the private niche annex of the ballroom to raise money for the Catholic Church to benefit young families who are struggling this holiday season. In lieu of bidding on the items, we will also be taking donations directly.

Happy Christmas and may God bless you all,
Ladies Emeraude di Notte and Emmaline Beaumont
