As we shared on our November 17 IS & RESO Open Forum, this year for Christmas, IS & RESO will join across regions on Wednesday, December 15, for two main holiday activity blocks, bookending a shortened Christmas Open Forum with B.J. Moore and our executive leadership.
Invites have gone out from B.J.’s calendar for the following:
Christmas Virtual Social – Time Option 1
PGC and US Early Birds
7:30-8:30 a.m. (PT)/8:00-9:00 p.m. (IST)
Christmas Mini IS & RESO Open Forum
8:30-9:00 a.m. (PT)/9:30-10:00 p.m. (IST)
Christmas Virtual Social – Time Option 2
9:00-10:00 a.m. (PT)
What’s in-store for our Christmas Virtual Socials?
3 Time options for Santa Workshop, including afternoon
Request an audience with Santa for a child in your life (of any age!). Santa will be joining us on Teams from his North Pole workshop and will have an on-camera interaction with children whose names have been submitted. He’ll also address questions and wish list items. It will be cute to see these interactions with Santa!
Mission-supporting charity raffle
Our Mission partner for our Christmas event this year is Clare’s Place in Everett, WA, a supportive housing community for chronically homeless and vulnerable households support by Catholic Community Services.
Purchase $5 tickets here for your chance to win one of 12 gift baskets (for the Days of Christmas). Then, during our event, we’ll have a guest speaker share more about their inspiring work.
