Hi All!
Well, we are less than two weeks from our first NESP Holiday Party. So, in the spirit of, let's figure out what we've actually got going on here, I've decided to start this summary thread.
So the party is at 4pm on November 17 at my house in Windham, NH. Directions will follow for party attendees. See the
Who is Going to Need a Hotel Room thread for hotel information.
We will have a
Yankee Swap and a
Silent Auction fundraiser.
Who's Bringing What
We will be getting our main dish(es) from a local restaurant. So appetizers, desserts, and alcohol are needed. Below is a list of attendees and what they have volunteered to bring. If you do not see your name on the list, please let me know.

Tricia: Rum Cake

We need to know the "wish list" for drinks. I know someone wanted
Kahlua, and I'll bring Captain for tradition's sake
Do people
want beer?
What kind? Eggnog?
I could bring sodas and mixers.. ?
If that's ok, send me yr requests..
I regretfully won't be able to make it, you all have a great time and take lots of pics!
Oh NO! Not you too Gina!!!
Joining Liz in a plea for some direction as to what people would like for "adult beverages " - - I have been known to get a bit carried away in New Hampshire's goodies store if I don't have a shopping list to work from.
Hey Liz, maybe a big batch of Christmas Red Snappers
Gina, are you sure ? ? ? ? ? Anything we can do to make it possible for you to come ?
I know Mary Magdalene was discussing Margaritas, and I'm always up for that..
Or if we're doing red snappers, bring cranberry juice and stuff to make Cosmos..
Either way, I can do mixers if someone brings the booze.. and let me know the non-alcohol ingredients for red snappers.
I'm definitely not picky.
I could bring sodas and mixers.. ?
If that's ok, send me yr requests..
I am bringing soda (coke, diet coke, ginger ale) Margaux.
Liz, YES to the Kahlua 
....if there is no Kahlua, I'll have an ice cold beer if any is available...one or the other, not both.
I want to go and join in on the fun, but I don't know if I'll be able to make it. I'm not on the list because I haven't decided yet...I'm torn, because if I don't go, I'll miss out on all the fun!
Is it ok if I let ya know at the last minute???
