Welcome to the Ball


Welcome to the Calathora New Year's Ball Blog!

Herein related are some details that we hope will make the evening pleasant and memorable and run smoothly for everyone.

We are looking forward to bringing in the New Year with you and just enjoying the evening. It is so fun to have a setting in which our children can 'practice' being at a nice event, all dressed up at a party and the whole family can have a good time of fellowship.

As regards the costumes, each family can approach this several ways. You can come as a particular historical figure ( and learn about him/her) or you can dress in a particular period. We do ask , though, that ladies come as female characters and gentlemen come as male characters. Out of deference to others, let's limit ourselves to portraying people and save the veggies and animals for the buffet line.

Dear Morton Family,
I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the family conference with ya'll and ever since then we have been looking forward with much anticipation to this new years ball. I have been sewing our outfits this week and am so excited to see all of yours!!! I do have a few questions though... For out of town guests who will need to stay the wee hours of the morning in a safe place and not on the road... Would you happen to have any suggestions as to a good place to lodge, Perhaps a hotel near by or something.We didn't know if the set up was going to be anything like the family conference with the possibility of campers ,tents etc. :) Also,Emily's parents, Sister and brother have heard about this event and would like to come,but were not sure if they could come without special invitation. We do not wish to inconvenience you in any way so if the guest list is full for the evening, They completely understand!
Thankyou so much for everything you are doing to make this a most enjoyable event for everyone! We truly appreciate all your hard work!
In Christ, The Thomas Smith Family :) :) :)
