Dear Members and Guests,

Christmas Dinner Party on Saturday, December 5, 17:30 hours
in the Restaurant „Alte Kanzlei“ Schiller Platz 5A, 70173 Stuttgart
We will meet at 17:30 for a Christmas reception with Sekt, juice and other drinks, along with music to put us in a holiday mood. As you enter the restaurant, go upstairs to our beautifully decorated “Karl and Olga” dining rooms, say hello to friends and enjoy the festive atmosphere. After the reception and a Christmas welcome, including a surprise or two, we will begin our delicious holiday dinner consisting of a Winter Green Salad, followed by a Filet Teller with a mushroom cream sauce and spätzle – OR –
Filet of Salmon in an herbal sauce with seasonal vegetables and sliced potatoes. A full vegetarian main course is also available with the menu. Please specify your main course selection when you make your dinner reservation.
After dinner we will be treated to a lovely musical dessert as we enjoy a Christmas concert with our own Adrienne Zarski, jazz pianist extraordinaire. Following the concert, we will cap off the evening with our rousing Christmas Carol sing-a-long. Be ready to join in and send everyone off in a festive holiday mood!
The price for the evening is €40 for members and €50 for non-members. This includes the restaurant room fees, reception, dinner menu and musical entertainment. That evening you need only pay the restaurant for dinner drinks and additional orders during and after the meal. We ask for advance payment for this event. You will receive payment instructions with your firm reservation.
We look forward to a delightful evening full of fine food and drink, wonderful music, Christmas stories, and plenty of Christmas merriment. We guarantee you will leave imbued with enough Christmas spirit to carry you through the holidays and into the New Year. Bring your friends and join us on this joyous occasion!
The very first event of the newly formed 1948 Club was a Christmas party in December 1948. We have celebrated Christmas together every year since, this year for the 79th time. Our annual Christmas party is a very special event, the highlight of our year together. We ask for your support in making this year’s party a resounding success!
