December
CFJ Holiday Party + Awards
Saturday, Dec 12•Retention + recognition
A real social night: spouses/partners invited, no workout, food + drinks + music + year-end awards. Consider off-site if budget allows.
Core awards: Member of the Year • Most Improved • Community MVP • Rookie of the Year • Coach's Choice.
Recognize 2026 Committed Club members.
Party Theme Ideas
Winter Wonderland — white/silver/icy decor, inflatable blow-ups (snow globe, polar bear, snowman arch), a photo backdrop moment. Reads more "produced," probably needs an off-site space with room for the inflatables.
Pajama Party — cozy loungewear theme, hot cocoa/coffee bar, rec games set up around the room — ping pong, cornhole. Lower cost, more relaxed, works on-site or off.
Ticketed event — sell tickets to help offset an off-site venue and catering, either flat-price-per-person or member-free-plus-one-paid.

☐ Save-the-date post
Internal
Members + spouses/plus-ones — not a lead-gen event
Christmas Decoration Supply List (for Dec 1 setup) — confirmed
☐ Window decorations (clings/decals)
☐ Lights strung above the rig
☐ A stocking on the desk
☐ A small tree
Not doing this round: hot chocolate/marshmallow station, garland, ugly-sweater photo backdrop, costume draw props, and a printed banner were all floated as ideas but aren't part of the confirmed decor list. Leaving them here in case Megan wants to add any back in — not assumed.

Christmas Bingo Cards — Confirmed, details still open
Happening — a bingo card of things members should do in December, checked off as they go, maybe tied to a small prize on blackout or one line. Square list and design still need to be locked.
Rough square ideas to start from:
Hit a PR • Bring a friend • Attend Disco FNL or a Member Monday • Wear something festive to class
Try a class time you don't normally go to • Post a CFJ workout on social and tag us • Help decorate for CHAD/Friendsgiving or Christmas
Attend the Holiday Party • Donate to the Thanksgiving food drive • Perfect Attendance week • Ring the PR bell
