Seasons' Greetings, friends!
It looks like the Media Brigade Open Office Christmas Party 2001 will be held in the Media Brigade Conference Center as planned. Cocktails will be served from 4:00pm. Dinner will be served at 5:30pm. I expect everyone will be sufficiently loosened up by 7:00pm to open the dance floor. We absolutely need to be cleared out by 2:00am, though, which means that in order to get cleanup done in time, all guests have to be out by 12:30am at the latest.
This is a "coat-and-tie" affair (not that I'm going to kick out anyone who's got both shoes and a shirt). Our illustrious Media Brigade C-in-C is trying to save money by charging a small dinner fee and switching from an open bar to a cash bar, but I'm resisting. In the worst case scenario I'll use the money I got from the Rex Langman settlement to cover those fees so our guests aren't burdened by them.
There will, of course, be additional entertainment, some of which will be tailored specifically to children and the young at heart. Rose and I have also got some surprises planned.
Please notify my office as soon as possible if you intend to come and how many will be in your group so that we can tell the caterer.
