Welcome the holiday season with your ICDC friends at the Embassy of France as we invite you to a very special holiday gala. Meet internationaly-minded professionals, take part in casino games, dance to a live orchestra and DJ, enjoy French food and drinks, savor European holiday chocolate, and donate to a worthy cause with holiday presents for local hospitalized children. Please reserve your tickets early. Our last 2 galas at the Embassy of France sold out.
The evening starts with a catered buffet dinner by the French Embassy chef as well as dancing to a live orchestra. Our live band takes you to the center of Monaco with big band, ballroom, swing, and other dance music. As a special bonus, the band will help us get into the holiday spirit with special holiday favorites.
Enjoy casino games with your ICDC friends as you play Black Jack, Craps, and Texas Hold 'em Poker. (Please note that the games are just for fun. There is no real gambling involved.)
