<h2>Party Location:<o:p></o:p></h2>

<p>8523 Greenwood Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98103<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Fantastic menu available (including one in Braille).<o:p></o:p></p>

<h2>What To Expect:<o:p></o:p></h2>
<p>There will be fun holiday-themed games involving all participants as well as other fun stuff to do. You may also bring a gift, and get a gift! The gifting part is optional, but those who do will get opportunities to join in the gift exchange games. (note,
if bringing a gift it should be around $15 more or less.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Regardless, this shall be a day to remember, spend some time with friends and loved ones and ring in the festive season.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>So, come as yourself, come as you are. Bring your family, friends, or students who are blind along for the feast; you'd be sure to be entertained and have a wonderful time, to say the least!
<span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">☺</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Along the way, you'll learn what the NFB is all about. Whether you're a member of our organization or not, or whether you're blind, low vision, an ally of a blind person, our chapter welcomes you into our event on the 14th of this month!
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Thanks for attending in advance, and let's go build the National Federation of the Blind!<o:p></o:p></p>
