This is a repeat of last year’s event—and it was a wonderful time filled with great food and even better company. Let’s do it again this year!
Monday, 02/16 is President's Day (Day Off!) also coincides with Chinese New Year’s Eve , a meaningful occasion when families gather to share a meal, reflect on the year past, and welcome a new year filled with hope and brighter beginnings.
BEFORE SIGNING UP, PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO READ THE MEETUP DESCRIPTION IN ITS ENTIRETY.
Please note that if you have food allergies, this event is not for you since all food is cooked together in the same boiling pot.

## Attendance & Waitlist
All attendees will initially be placed on the waitlist . As this event will take place on a friend’s private rooftop, not all waitlisted guests will be moved to the “Going” list.
***Attendance priority will be given to members I’ve previously met, had positive experiences with, and who have their own clear profile photo.
Once you received my direct message to you, you will be moved to the “Going” list only after payment is received to cover basic food, and supplies via PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle . The exact address and my ph# will be then shared directly with guests on the going-list.
