It’s Holiday Gathering Time!!!

We’ve seen some different iterations of our festive gathering the last couple of years, from our online Gather-ing in 2020 to our cold but cozy outdoor party in 2021. This year, we’re bringing the gathering back indoors to its original home, CSI Annex!

Now, obviously we host this annual party because we love you, CSI members, and we want to show our appreciation for you and the amazing, world changing work that you do year-round. All that world-changing takes time and energy, and its hard to pull yourself away to plan a big to-do to boost the spirits and morale of your teams and supporters. So, we’re hosting the cheer so you can focus on what’s important! Our party is YOUR party… All you have to do is invite your staff, your board members, and your volunteers, then shake and serve! And if you want to add your own brand of cheer to the mix, you can do that too! Let’s co-create the sh*t out of this year’s holiday gathering and make it the best one yet.

This year’s gathering will, of course, feature cocktails and the Community Cookie Bar (sign up to share your favourite sweet). We’ll also have a lively dance floor, a hot coco bar, and the presentation of our annual Bow Tie Award (nominate your favourite community builders now!)

New this year – you can pre-purchase bundles of drink tickets at a special festive rate! Save up to $4 on alcoholic drinks (beer, cider, wine, and cocktail) and save $2 on our non-alcoholic mocktail by adding some drink tickets to your free registration. Of course, drink tickets will still be available for purchase during the event. Don’t snooze on our drink special – it ends December 4th!
