[Nfbc-sj] In Person Holiday Party!

[davidhoffman1965 at gmail.com]

Hello all, Happy Holidays and wishing everyone a safe, happy and healthy New Year - remember to be your authentic selves and to be careful digesting news these days. Being able to critically analyze what is going on this world can help keep us all safe.

Turns out that I will likely not be able to make this years event as we have a family event that has been scheduled for earlty that evening

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
