  • 2024 Slopes Holiday Party

    Join us for a festive celebration at the American Serbian Club where we’ll be spreading holiday cheer with good food and great company. This in-person event is the perfect opportunity to mingle with neighbors and friends while enjoying the holiday spirit. Don’t miss out on the fun – mark your calendars and get ready to jingle all the way!

    Register by December 6!

    New this year
    So we may accommodate everyone in a larger space, the party location has moved to the American Serbian Club (2524 Sarah Street). It is across the street from Zenith where we’ve celebrated in years past. And we’re happy to report that Zenith will still provide the yummy food for our festivities!

    All the details

    Join us on Thursday December 12 from 6:30pm to 9:30pm! Food will be provided by the SSSNA, with both meat and vegetarian options available. There is a cash bar. Very limited parking available on-site but there is street parking available near the venue. Please register by Dec. 6 to ensure we have enough food. If you can’t make it, let us know, so we can welcome more neighbors.

    Have extra to give this holiday season? We will be collecting toys for Brashear’s annual toy drive. Bring a new unwrapped gift or toy for children up to age 12 to the party – or you can drop them off at: The Brashear Association (320 Brownsville Road).
