[NFBSF] RSVP for the NFBSF Holiday Party!

Mon Dec 8 20:04:27 UTC 2025

hi,
I signed up for Christmas party already. However, I would like to add all of us, including the guy dog, to join the Christmas costume contest. Originally, only one, now will be 3 of us.  Now will be three. And we also like to do two elephant gift exchange instead of one. I hope it's not too late to change my mind. Thank you.
Kit, John, and Guide dog, Charmaine.

>> Dear NFB San Francisco Chapter Members and Families:
>> 
>> 
>> Save the Date! Saturday, December 13 at 12:00 pm
>> 
>> 
>> A reminder: this month, the only thing on our calendar is our Holiday
>> Party!
>> 
>> 
>> The National Federation of the Blind San Francisco Chapter invites you to
>> celebrate the season with us at our annual Holiday Party! As a community of
>> blind individuals, families, and allies working together to achieve the
>> dreams of blind people, we believe in celebrating our achievements,
>> friendships, and the year behind us. Join us at La Penca Azul for an

>> 
>> 
>> 
>> WHAT TO EXPECT:
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> *       Delicious food (everyone orders from the menu)
>> *       Wonderful company and community connection
>> *       Fun little competitions and games
>> *       Optional White Elephant gift exchange
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> DRESS CODE & FESTIVE COSTUME CONTEST:
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> Come however you like - but we're awarding a prize for the MOST FESTIVE!
>> Whether that's the ugliest holiday sweater, the flashiest light-up
>> necklace, a halo crown, a tactile masterpiece, or your own creative
>> interpretation of festive spirit - bring it! Casual is fine, but festive is
>> FUN. Show us your holiday style!
>> 
>> 
>> WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE (OPTIONAL):
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> Want to join in the fun? Bring a wrapped gift (around $15-20 value) for
>> EACH person in your party who wants to participate in our White Elephant
>> exchange! Not familiar with White Elephant? It's a hilarious gift-swapping
>> game where everyone brings a quirky, funny, or useful gift.
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> Here's how it works:
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> 1.      Everyone who brings a gift gets a number
>> 2.      Player #1 opens any wrapped gift from the pile
>> 3.      Player #2 can either steal Player #1's unwrapped gift OR open a new
>> one
>> 4.      If your gift gets stolen, you can steal someone else's gift or open
>> a new one (but you can't immediately steal back the gift that was just
>> taken from you!)
>> 5.      Each gift can only be stolen 3 times total, then it's "frozen" with
>> its current owner
>> 6.      The last person gets to choose from any gift or open the final
>> wrapped one
>> 
>> 
>> The fun is in the surprises, the friendly stealing, and the laughter that
>> ensues! Participation is totally optional - you're welcome to just enjoy
>> watching the chaos unfold.
>> 
>> 
>> LOCATION:
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> La Penca Azul
>> 1440 Park Street
>> Alameda, California
