Are you exhausted from watching the near-perfect daily winter sunsets over the Cascades, sick of wondering whether Chow or The Lemon Tree has the better holiday specials, and looking for a reason to meet up with like-minded people?!

L﻿et's make the most of this time by connecting over a beer or your favorite brewery drink. T﻿his event is open to anyone who wants to engage with Bend's tech community. From old friends to people new to town, all are welcome. Even better, bring a friend. There's no agenda other than getting to know each other.

We'll congregate at the indoor communal tables to the right of the main bar.

**Holiday gift drive**
For our 3rd annual holiday gift drive that benefits kids, seniors and families in need, it's exciting to be working with local nonprofits, including MountainStar Family Relief Nursery, Bethlehem Inn and Council on Aging of Central Oregon. You can access the gift list here. (Stay tuned. It's not ready yet!)

**Your ticket**
Besides expanding your personal and professional horizons, we aim to help the local community. Every event benefits the greater good. A portion of the ticket sales go to a nonprofit of the community's choice, so share one when registering for this event.

Need a break on ticket price? Whether you're between jobs, a student or have your own good reason, we've got you covered. Contact John McMahon at [jpmcmahon@gmail.com](http://jpmcmahon@gmail.com/) to learn about our flex ticket program.

**Ready to support something awesome?**
Between the advisory program and the monthly events bringing together Bend's impressive tech talent, you can get your company in front of the people shaping our innovation ecosystem. Hit me up at [jpmcmahon@gmail.com](http://jpmcmahon@gmail.com/) and let's chat about how sponsorship can work for you. I'd love to explore what makes sense for your company and our community.
