I am finally getting a chance to send this on behalf of the events committee. We had a great time at our holiday gathering last weekend at Mellow Mushroom and missed those of you that were not be able to make it. For those of you that were not at our holiday gathering, it was announced that we would like some input for our next gathering. What is this gathering, you may ask? Well, that\u2019s where you come in. We have a few options for a gathering that will be on New Year\u2019s Eve or New Year\u2019s Day. In the past, the chapter has gone out to eat on New Year\u2019s Day and would like to do something similar and have a few other options that have been suggested to us. Based on the options below, please let us know which one you would like to pick.<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">Option 1: A virtual gathering on zoom that would occur during the evening of New Year\u2019s Eve.<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">Option 2: An in-person gathering for breakfast on New Year\u2019s Day at either IHOP, Keke\u2019s, or Dennys.<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">Option 3: A virtual gathering that would occur on New Year\u2019s Day on zoom.<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">Whichever option you decide, all of them will have one thing in common; we would like for you to think of an event or event/fundraiser you would like to see the chapter do this year.
