Before the Holidays Monday Happy Hour

I thought it would be good for all of us to gather before the Thanksgiving holiday and enjoy an adult beverage. This year has flown by and it has been an amazing one with great friends. To each of you I raise my glass! ***UPDATE*** EDM has decided to sponsor a family again this year for Christmas! We had such a great response last year and so many folks were willing to help out that we decided to do it again. If you'd like to help, that would be great and if you can't this year or would rather not, please don't feel any pressure to do so. We have been assigned a family in Herndon which has two children, a 12 year old girl named Samantha and a 9 year old boy named Nicolas. I have made contact with the mother to get information from her regarding the family needs including the children's clothing and shoe sizes as well as what interests they have and if they have asked for anything specific for Christmas. Another great gift has always been gift cards for groceries. I will post this information as soon as I have it. There will be two HH events (this one and one in December, date TBD) where folks can bring gifts (wrapped or unwrapped) for us to collect. Help us spread the Christmas spirit to a local family in need!
