Holiday Party Dec 2021


Hello LMQG members!


We are so excited to be able to meet in person this year to celebrate the upcoming holidays and the close to a successful year! 

There are some changes this year:

Location: This year, we will be holding the Holiday Party at the IQM.

Treats: We'll provide them! Please do not bring food.

Gift Exchange: We'll be doing a White Elephant Gift exchange. Please bring 2 fat quarters in wrapping paper if you'd like to participate.  Here's how it works: 


"Each participant supplies one wrapped gift, usually of similar value. The gifts are placed in a central location, and participants determine in which order they will take turns selecting them. The first person opens a wrapped gift, and the turn ends. On subsequent turns, each person has the choice to either unwrap a new present or to steal another's. When a person's gift is stolen, that person can either choose another wrapped gift to open or can steal from another player. To avoid never-ending circles, each gift can only be stolen twice per game. The game is over when everyone has a present. First player also can steal at the end if desired."

If you're curious, you can learn more here. 

Sign Up: Members, please check your email for the "Sign Up Genius" invitation. Please sign up via this application so that we can prepare treats for you.


We can't wait to see you!
