0700-0730: Introductions & Assistance. Tell us what's happening in your world lately, especially any plans for 2016. We can help with advice, referrals, job search assistance, and other networking needs.
0730-0800: Annual White Elephant Gift Exchange. Bring an unwanted gift, wrapped and ready to share. We first determine the order of gift selection, then the fun begins. Each selector has the option to choose a gift from the table, or "steal" one that has already been selected, in which case that person gets to choose again. This process continues until a gift has been selected a maximum of 3 times, at which point that person keeps it. In past years the gifts have ranged from quite humorous to very nice indeed.
If you forget to bring a gift, please join us anyway, as we always have a few extras.

5 Jan (this week): Annual White Elephant Gift Exchange - see above.
