The market speaks! And we like what it is saying about our New Year's Eve charity ball at Union Station. Thanks, in part, to a rush of sales Friday night at our Sequoia happy hour event we are now SOLD OUT out of $99 earlybird tickets. Tickets are now available for $125 per person through SCP New Year's Eve hosts and hostesses (see http://www.scp.org/tickets.html). Contact your host or hostess for details. Prepaid tickets will be available for pick-up in December. Guests may also have their host or hostess collect their prepaid tickets on their behalf. Any tickets not distributed by the time of the event will be left at the Will Call table. Tickets will not be sold at the door (and we can't imagine any scenario in which we'd have any to sell anyway). To reach the Social Club of the Potomac, call 1 (703) 995-0383 or send an e-mail to bacchus@scp.org. Please allow one or two days for a response. Formed to promote community events, the SCP is a 501(c)(7) non- profit, non-stock Virginia corporation, and event proceeds benefit charity.

The annual "Sting" Casino Night, held at America at Union Station, is one of DC's funnest holiday events for young professionals. It is an evening of good times, eating, drinking, gambling, a great silent auction, and live dance music by Blame It On Jane---all to benefit the fight against Leukemia. So save the date and help us celebrate life, as we help others overcome the fight against this formiddable foe. The Sting is the premier annual event of Society Ties, the young professional volunteer network of the National Capital Area Chapter of the Leukemia Society of America. The Sting will be held from 7:00pm to 1:00am, Saturday, November 20, 1999, at America at Union Station. Tickets are $70 ($80 at the door) and will be available at the SCP's 45 Days `Til Midnight happy hour at Sequoia. For more information, or to get on the Society Ties mailing list, please contact Jennifer Drake (drake@dc-cap.leukemia.org) at the Leukemia Society at 1 (703) 960-1100 or visit the SCP gateway to The Sting Website at http://www.scp.org/LSA.html. ______________________________________________________________________ OTHER SCP EVENTS COMING SOON Friday 12/17: 12/17 is just 14 Days `Til Midnight, and that calls for another happy hour! Venue details TBA. Any remaining New Year's Eve tickets will be sold at this event. The first 10 people to this happy hour will get a free SCP Y2K survival kit (estimated value unknown). In the spirit of the holidays, happy hour guests are invited to bring a children's toy or a canned food item for us to donate to charity, but your good cheer is all that is required. Saturday 1/1: Join us for Irish beer, Irish whiskey, plenty of food, and plenty of hearsay the morning after our epic Union Station blowout!
