A Tennessee Holiday Celebration at Johnny's Other Side
Friday December 9th, 7:00pm-11:00pm
This year we will be having a Tennessee Holiday Celebration at Johnny’s Other Side for
all University of Tennessee Alumni, Family and Friends! The celebration will be from 7pm-11pm
on Friday December 9th. This is a family friendly event for all of our Tennessee friends
here in Central Florida.
Johnny’s Other Side is asking that you bring an unwrapped toy to help Toys for Tots
achieve their goal of ensuring a good Christmas for needy children in the community.
You will receive a free drink with your gift donation. The soft drinks will be provided
by the chapter.
At this time we are looking to have live entertainment, but this is in the negotiation phase.
This would be a great way to end our year with those who love the University of Tennessee!
We encourage everyone who can attend to bring your family and friends.
Please RSVP to utvolsmco@earthlink.net so that we
can prepare the staff at Johnny’s Other Side. Please RSVP by Thursday at noon.
