  This Year's Program:

  Favorite Treats Potluck

  • Bring your favorite holiday treat to share with your fellow members! Sweet or savory are equally welcome, finger foods preferred.
  • Be sure to label your treat with your name, so we know who to praise! Also remember to note if it's gluten free, dairy free, etc.
  • If you wish, bring a few copies of your recipe to share with others.

  Door Prizes: Get your ticket at the door!

  Wine Tasting and Purchase Event

  • Have a taste of some lovely wine donated by 6 North Cellars (no longer in operation): 2010 Threshold Cabernet, 2011 Threshold Cabernet Sauvignon, or 2014 Threshold Cabernet Sauvignon. Approximate value: $70.
  • If you'd like to take a bottle home with you, you can do so for a minimum donation of $50 to NVGS. These wines make a great gift or addition to your holiday table.

  Monetary donations of any amount will be collected at this event for the NVGS holiday gift to Cope Family Center, a Napa non-profit whose mission is to “provide parents with the education, resources, and support they need to raise children who thrive.”

  A few extra hands will make this event a big success!

  Questions We Wish We'd Asked

  Host: Linda Jesmok

  What questions do you wish you had asked previous generations? Have you found answers through your own research? Join us for this round table conversation, where we'll share our questions and suggest alternative ways we might find answers.

  We'll also spend a few minutes brainstorming future Round Table topics for 2027!

  Members and Friends: Take a break, grab a cup of coffee or tea, and join us for an informal chat. Each month, we choose a genealogy topic to spark the conversation, then gather on Zoom to have a great time sharing our tips, tricks, and stories.
