On Friday, December 9, we'll close the clinics early and head to Rusty Scupper for good eats and great company.
The logistics:
- The party lasts from 1-4 p.m. and staff is invited to arrive as early as 12:30 p.m.
- Parking is free but spaces are limited; carpooling is encouraged. (If you park in the lot at the restaurant, bring your ticket inside for validation.)
- And just a reminder - lunch will be served buffet style. Anyone requiring a vegeterian/vegan meal, or with a shellfish allergy, should contact Emily by 5 p.m. Thursday, December 1.
The (optional) fun stuff:
- Ugly Sweater Contest. Always a crowd favorite, wear your loudest, wildest, tackiest holiday top to compete for the crown of Ugliest Holiday Sweater.
- Gift Exchange. Bring a wrapped gift, without your name on it, valued at $10 or less to exchange with other participants. Here's the catch - there will be a few big ticket items added to the pile. You could be one of the lucky winners but you have to play to win...
Get ready for a much-needed afternoon of fellowship and fun!
Please note: Clinics will operate all day on Thursday, December 8 and close at noon on Friday, December 9. There is no All-Staff meeting for December.
