DECEMBER MONTHLY GATHERING *IN PERSON* AND ZOOM – Fri, Dec 9th, 7 pm ET

PROGRAM: Our annual Holiday Party Pitch-In Dinner and Gimmee-Grabbee Gift Exchange
.
Doors open at 7 pm; we’ll eat at 7:30. Meat, bread, beverages, and tableware will be provided. For the pitch in: If your last name starts with A – G, an appetizer or dessert; if your last name starts with H – Z, please bring please bring a side dish (vegetable, fruit, or salad).
.
The gift exchange after dinner is always a hoot. We call it “Gimmee Grabbee” – when it’s your turn, you may choose a gift that hasn’t been selected yet or take one from someone who has already chosen. Presents remain wrapped until everyone has chosen. People choose based on the appearance of the package and/or what they think might be inside. Every year, there are a few imaginatively wrapped presents that are the hit of the party! Participation in the gift exchange isn’t required, but you’ll be missing out on some of the fun if you don’t. Suggested price range for a gift is $10-$15.
