• Pre-event / Setup (Day-time Dec. 31st): Assist with decorating, moving and setting up tables, and food preparation.

• Glamour Hour (Dec. 31st from 5-6pm): Help members as they arrive for early hair and makeup in preparation for the evening festivities.

• During the Event (Starts at 6pm): Join in the fun with our members as they enjoy a “Night in Vegas” theme — including dancing, karaoke, card and board games.
