So glad that we had a big sign up this morning already at 38 people for the December 1 Holiday party 6-9 pm at my home (address and directions were sent Dec 14 per email).

Remember the chapter will supply wine and non alcoholic beverages. If you wish to bring liquor fine and dandy, or your favorite side dish/salad/dessert. From the sign up it appears we are short on salads.

Enjoy a bountiful celebration over Thanksgiving and see you soon.

BTW kids and spouses are welcome. Bring a White Elephant Gift for each person who participates in the exchange!

Come one, come all to the BNI Embarcadero Best Damn Karaoke Night/Talent Show/Leadership Turnover.

Plan on raising your voice, strumming your ukelele, tickling the ivories at Martuni’s on Market St. at Valencia at 5 pm on Monday, October 3.

More details will follow, but mark your calendars and start rehearsing.
