HPSW Holiday Party – December 10th from 1pm to 4pm

By on December 6th, 2017

The HPSW Holiday Party will be Sunday Dec 10 1-4 at Madelyn Katzman’s house on North Capitol Hill 

It is a potluck. Bring a dish to share, or wine. HPSW will supply plates and napkins etc. and Madelyn will supply cutlery.
There is also a whilte elephant gift exchange. This is supposed to be some kind of white elepant, something quirky and funny if possible, and not an expensive gift. You are not allowed to bring last year’s gift until next year. Madelyn gets to choose if we can steal gifts already opened, or not.

You can come without sharing in the gift exchange, so don’t avoid us if you aren’t interested in the gift exchange.

Call Madelyn Katzman for directions:  206 328 3202
