The Holiday Party is a time to celebrate the end of the year and the upcoming holidays.  This year’s event was special because we celebrated the Capitol Christmas Tree coming from the Stanislaus National Forest.  We had 650 attendees and several notable VIPs:  Commerce Secretary John Bryson, Senator Feinstein, Congressmen Royce, Costa, Lungren, Denham, Dreier, Lewis, Rohrabacher, Bilbray, Farr and Congresswomen Hahn and Roybal-Allard.

About the Holiday Party

Join the California State Society as we celebrate the holidays, California style. The Holiday Party is a time to enjoy holiday treats and the company of fellow Californians.

Our 2011 event was special, as it took place at the Library of Congress, and celebrated the Capitol Christmas Tree coming from California’s Stanislaus National Forest.  Edison International was our special sponsor, and celebrated their 125th anniversary of being in California.

Feedback from CSS Members

“The California State Society is an organization I’ve been affiliated with for over two years. The combination of positive networking opportunities and enjoyable social interaction is unbeatable. The Holiday Party is a favorite of mine. The festive mood and great company make for a memorable end to the year, and who better to share the holidays with than fellow Californians?” ~ Ben Parmentier
