  *Event:*   iBUG Unplugged: This Magic Moment *Date of Event:*  December
2, 2023
*Time*:  8:00 to 10:00 PM
*Details:*  You are invited to join us for another episode of iBUG
Unplugged. This month, we reminisce about life changing moments – meeting
someone, being in the right or wrong place at the right or wrong time, or
making a decision that had a lasting effect in your life.  Perhaps what
makes you smile is remembering the time when you met your best friend,
a conversation shared with someone you love, or proposing to your partner.
Or maybe it is a childhood toy, a pet, a hero or role model, or school
memories that make you smile? Do you remember the first time you
experienced snow, the ocean, hiking, rafting, or skiing? The first time you
rode in a 2-seater sports convertible, your first live concert, the circus
or a sporting event.  Come share your magic moments with other iBUG members
and friends at this month’s iBUG Unplugged, facilitated by Vincent Elorza.
