Meetup: Holiday Hangout & White Elephant Gift Giving

Join us for a special holiday hangout! Please bring a gift to contribute to the White Elephant game*. At this Meetup we will be hanging out, connecting with one another, playing the White Elephant gift exchange, enjoying coffee and snacks. We will not have a presentation as we normally do. Please consider bringing food or drinks to share!
*For the White Elephant game you can bring any gift, the only rule is that it has to be wrapped. We will each bring a gift, then each person will be randomly selected to pick out a gift. Each person will take a turn to pick out a gift or they can 'steal' another person's gift. It's fun, I promise!
