Happy Holidays from Nakayoshi!
We're switching the format of our updates to a monthly basis to keep all your inboxes from getting cluttered. December is generally a busy month for everyone with the holidays, so we're consolidating our events this month so that the Pregame Mixer/Warriors game will serve as this month's social event for Nakayoshi. Make sure you and your friends buy your tickets to the game if you haven't already!
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season, and we'll see you next year (if not sooner)!

Saturday, December 13th, 2008: Nakayoshi Monthly Meeting/Holiday Party
Once again, due to the holidays, we're deviating from our usual practice of meeting on the last Sunday of the month. We've decided to mix things up a bit this month and have combined this month's Nakayoshi meeting with a holiday party for Nakayoshi committee members! Come discuss what we have coming up in the new year and enjoy the holiday spirit with Nakayoshi committee members after! The meeting and the holiday party following are still open to everyone, but please RSVP at nakayoshi.ncwnp@gmail.com if you are coming due to limited space.

Hopefully we'll all be able to walk away without serious scrapes or bruises to hang out some more following the ice skating. For more details on the ice rink, click here.
