The FUN part!
Each participant needs to bring an unmarked wrapped gift of modest value of something you have at home…or if you need to buy something, keep it under $10. Mark Hamilton will try to keep order as our “Silly “gift exchange gets uproarious when our selected gifts are at risk from other participants, who can steal them away! Fun will be had!
Reservations are needed by :
Saturday November 24. If you are away for Thanksgiving, make sure you email me or call and leave a message and let me know you are coming, so I can give accurate head count by Monday November 26. 510-748-7455 pwashbou@hotmail.com
Our first meeting of the 2018-2019 season is coming up on October 7.
We are a lively group of movie lovers who visit the Alameda Theatre on the first Sunday of every month, October through June, to see a current movie at an afternoon matinee (reduced ticket price). Spouses are welcome to attend. Afterwards, we walk over to Tucker’s for refreshments and conversation.
How it works: please send an email to kevis.brownson at gmail.com to join the group, and then you will get an email to vote on the movie on the Friday before the event. On Saturday, you receive an email letting you know what movie we will see on Sunday. We post the event on Facebook and the Alameda Branch Web site as well.
