Don’t miss this one! It’s going to be fun.

On Thursday, Dec. 14, from 12N to 1:00 we’ll have a delicious luncheon at the Spotswood Country Club in Harrisonburg, Va. We’ll enjoy each other’s company, learn a little bit about each person who attends, and exchange “White Elephant” gifts.

What’s a White Elephant gift? It’s anything you want to give away that you can tote into the meeting. Wrap it in pretty paper and see how quickly it gets picked and who wants to trade for it. Or, if you don’t have anything you want to “re-gift,” bring a new present worth no more than $10, or something you made yourself (I know we have lots of talented folks in our midst!).

Don’t forget to bring your business cards, too.

Thursday, December 14
Registration: 11:45 am
Lunch & Program: 12N - 1:00 pm

To register (by Tuesday, Dec. 12), call 540.820.3840 or email Lois at lcf@marketingideashop.com. (Remember, if I don’t respond to your email, I didn’t get it.)
