The MARC Christmas Party will be held at Clear Springs Cafe on Monday, December 14, at 6:30 pm.  Clear Springs Cafe is located at 5707 Andrews Highway in Midland.

The party will be held in the "Party Room" which is to the left when you enter the restaurant.  When you arrive just find a table and have a seat.  Everyone is responsible for their own meal.  Clear Springs does not accept checks so be sure to bring some green or some plastic.

We'll have installation of officers, door prizes, and, of course, lots of visiting!  Hope to see you there!
