Start the holiday season with UFC friends as we gather once again at El Macero to enjoy a festive sit-down dinner.
Our theme this year, Gingerbread Joy, evoked childhood memories of gingerbread houses, so we recreated them as our centerpieces!
Savor a glass of wine or cocktail from the bar while viewing these beautifully decorated member-made houses.
The sit-down dinner will offer a house salad of baby kale, roasted butternut squash, dried apples and candied pecans along with rolls and butter. For our entrees there will be a choice of Chicken Piccata or a Seasonal Vegan Quinoa Bowl. To end the meal on a convivial note we will offer assorted dessert bars, ginger snaps and coffee.
The cost for the event is $72 and the registration deadline is Friday, November 21st. Reserve your spot online soon, as this event has limited seating and the reservations fill quickly. Reservation cards will be available at check-in to save a seat at your table of choice.
In the generous spirit of the holidays, please bring non-perishable items for the UCD Student Pantry.
Cost: $72
