Party reminder, come on out and have some fun. The Bexar Grotto of the NSS will have a holiday party at Sue and Geary Schindel's house on Saturday evening, December 17, 2011. The address is 11310 Whisper Dawn, San Antonio, Texas. The party will start around 6 pm and will be a pot luck dinner and holiday celebration. So, whether you celebrate Christmas, Kwanza, Chanukah, Muharram, Lhabab Duchen, Rohatsu, winter solstice or Amitabha Budda Day, please come. Rules of the party - please read very carefully. Cavers and guests are welcome; however, we would prefer that you NOT bring any living non-human species unless they are service animals such as seeing eye, hearing ear, or tasting tongue dogs or monkeys. Dead animals, properly prepared and in an appropriate holiday sauce, are welcome and encouraged. We will also have the grill fired up. Bring a dish with some food in it. Take your dish home when you leave. If you see any dishes (or coolers) from last year that are yours, take them home also. Don't take anything else home except gifts. Please bring a can of food or other dry goods as a donation to the San Antonio Food Bank. Though a limited amount of beverages will be available, you may want to bring your own. Stay off the roof. The hot tub will be up and running, please bring your own towel and bathing suit - or not. No fireworks. If you must yak, yak outside (I prefer the backyard as this doesn't impress the neighbors and has been known to remove the paint finish off cars.) The Grotto has a customary white elephant exchange so bring a wrapped gift if you want to participate. All white elephant gifts MUST go home with the new owners. The white elephant swap will start around 8 pm. If you want to or need to spend the night, we'll serve breakfast to everyone on Sunday morning (you may be asked to help clean the house LOL). Have fun, Geary and Sue Schindel 210-479-2151<tel:210-479-2151> home 210-326-1576<tel:210-326-1576> cell
