Christmas Dinner Party on Saturday, December 2

Dear Members and Guests,

Please join us as we celebrate the Christmas season with a joyous holiday event, our 75th annual:

Christmas Dinner Party
on
Saturday, December 2, 2023, 17:30 hours
in the
Restaurant „Alte Kanzlei“
Schillerplatz 5A, 70173 Stuttgart

We will meet at 17:30 for a Christmas reception with Sekt and Orange Juice. Follow the GAC signs and go upstairs to our beautifully decorated “Karl and Olga” dining rooms. After the reception and a Christmas welcome, including a story or two, we will begin our delicious holiday dinner consisting of a winter mixed salad with a house dressing, followed by classic Swabian Roast Beef with onions in a Lemberger sauce with Spätzle – or Dorade (silver sea bream) Filet with mediterranean vegetables and Salbei Gnocchi with Parmesan. A full vegetarian main course – Mushroom Ravioli in a white wine sauce with spinach leaves, cherry tomatoes and parmesan- 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 good friends the acoustic Blues/Folk/Rock duo Kate n’ Crazy. Following the concert, we will cap off the evening with our rousing Christmas sing-a-long. Be ready to join in and send everyone off in a festive holiday mood!

Following our tradition, we would greatly appreciate it if some of the ladies (and gentlemen!) bring homemade Christmas cookies to share with others and to serve as table decorations.

The price for the evening is €38.00. This includes the reception, dinner menu and musical entertainment. That evening you need only pay the restaurant for drinks and additional orders during and after the meal. We are asking for advance payment for this event. You will receive payment instructions with your firm reservation.
