IRC Christmas Dinner - December
The final event of each year is the IRC Christmas Dinner - Christmas On The Lake, traditionally held at a lake front location in early December amid their Christmas decorations. Following this annual dinner, celebrating the arrival of "Christmas On
The Lake", the members then take part in fun Christmas activities. Many years, members can attend this event arriving either by boat or car to celebrate this annual Christmas event. As a tradition at this event, the Iowa Reunion Club members that are attending the Christmas dinner select and sing their favorite Christmas carols. We then end up finishing with a rousing round of the "12 Days Of Christmas", where the IRC club members are divided into groups to sing their designated day of each of the "12 Days Of Christmas". Each group also "acts out" their part of each of the "12 day's" activitities from the song, such as "10 Lords A Leaping" or "6 Geese A Laying" or "8 Maids A Milking"... You get the idea. The schedule of club events for the coming year are announced at this event. For the last several years, the IRC Christmas On The Lake event and Christmas dinner was held on the shores of the Lake of the Ozarks at the Camelot Estates Yacht Club.
