U.P. Beta Sigma Fraternity of Southern California

UP NorCal Christmas Party

Crowne Plaza Hotel, Foster City, CA - December 17, 2010

To those who braved the rains, the cold, and the long drive who made the night for everyone;
to those who were kind enough to donate those big, bigger and biggest raffle prizes whose generosity made many of us

special;
to those who lifted a lot of weight-- the band (literally), Ding, Gene, Nong Fred, Geny, Eileen-- who made the burden much

lighter for all of us;
to the Noriega sisters-- Julianne and Katherine- who charmed everyone out of their pocketbooks like no other would have

done;
to those who got charmed by the Noriega sisters-- who turned the Rainy Fund Drive into a downpour;
to our Southern California guests who traded sunshine (and rightly so) for a night of fun with the brods;
to those who reminded us of the hometown Christmas by bringing midnight snacks that were so good they were gone

before midnight;
to all the lovely ladies that graced the hall, and the handsome gentlemen who must have have been so proud to be their

escorts;
to our guests' guests who made it real fun for our guests;
to everyone else who we have failed to mention because of our failing brain circuits -----

Thank you!!! May you be blessed with more wonderful Christmas Parties to come!!!
