CAC Children's Christmas Party & Weekend
2023-12-16 | Alpine Lodge
Santa Claus is coming… to Tam!

On Saturday December 16th the CAC Holiday tradition of a Children’s Christmas party will take place at Alpine Lodge and you or the children in your lives are invited! We love to introduce future generations to the beauty of our mountain and club, with activities for all ages from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. Bake cookies, make winter crafts, or hit the trails! We may even get that special visitor from the North Pole (we will – bring a gift) and have a gingerbread house competition.

Cost for this event is Alpine’s overnight rates plus a food contribution TBD. RSVP to Donata Bohanec donatabo@hotmail.com or 707-591-3129. Once we have a head count, we’ll divvy up meals, shopping, and activity plans so please be prepared to pitch in. Hope you and yours can join us for the event kids and adults remember fondly year after year!

All are welcome!

December 2023 will mark the 9th year that I hope to take a group from my synagogue to stay 2 nights at the Alpine Lodge (Dec 26 & 27, leaving Dec 28). The for one night (Dec 28, leaving Dec 29), two of our daughters and their families want to have a “just family night” on Mt Tam.

Etz Chayim “AdventurEtz” goup (Dec 26-28) — I have more interest than in prior years. I have 10-12 definite YES for either one or two nights, and another 6 MAYBE (all adults; Emily and I are the only members). I would like confirmation from you before requiring the MAYBE people to decide one way or another and complete the online reservation form, hopefully sometime in the coming week.

Steve & Emily “Family Night at the Alpine Lodge” — We will be six adults, one 4 year old and two 2 year old toddlers (two members and 5 paying guests)
