[Nfbc-sj] In Person Holiday Party!

[blackbyrdfly at gmail.com]

Hey friends,
It’s that time of year again! Our next meeting will be our annual in-person holiday gathering! Here are the details:

When: Saturday, December 16 from 3:00 PM to 5ish
Where: Santana Row in San Jose, at the outdoor tables in front of the Veggie Grill/Starbucks
Who: You, your spouse, your kids, your dog, your imaginary friend who owes you money… All are welcome! 

We will also be having a white elephant gift exchange at the party. If you would like to participate, please bring a wrapped gift of roughly $25 value. If you aren’t familiar, this is a fun party game in which everyone takes turns either opening a gift from the table or stealing a gift someone else already opened. Feel free to get creative with your gift idea. If I hadn’t been sick last year, I would have brought a literal white elephant plushy. 

I can’t wait to see you all! 

Jamie
