Hey everyone,

So I am a temp assistant organizer : ) I mentioned this meetup to Laura but she'll unfortunately be out of town. I'll step in as the host because I think this looks fun and would love to get more people there. I am cross promoting this on SeattleCityGirls meetup so hopefully we can get a lot of people there.

Let's get in the holiday spirit and watch the Argosy Christmas Ship Festival! I love Christmas lights and Seattle's scenic water views so when I found out I missed this event last year I was really bummed. The Argosy Christmas Ship™ festival is a holiday celebration that has been a Northwest tradition for 59 years. Its main purpose is to bring communities together to celebrate the holiday season. From our flotilla of ships to the crowds of people who gather onshore, this celebration is one of the gems of the holiday season.

Each night, from Saturday November 29 through December 23rd, the Argosy Christmas Ship™ sails to different Puget Sound waterfront communities, over 45 in total. Choirs onboard sing 20-minute performances to these communities, all broadcast via state-of-the-art speaker system. And it's FREE!

Let's gather at one of the parks below to watch the boat parade!
MONDAY, DEC 1st - opening night
8:10-8:30
GAS WORKS PARK
Seattle Girls' Choir - Cantamus

I'll work out more details as it nears. Might be able to get a pop up tent in case it's raining.

       We had a smaller turnout than anticipated, probably due to the weather. We didn't get too wet (just a little drizzly toward the end) but all went out for drinks nearby afterwards. It was a really fun group!
