On December 15, 2004, the San Francisco Chapter STC bade a fond farewell to the London Wine Bar with our fifth annual holiday party. This special event brought the year to a festive close as revelers enjoyed fine wines, good food, animated conversations, and door prizes.
In a break from the normal pattern, there was no speaker this month. Instead, the entire meeting was a chance to schmooze, interrupted only by a networking game that revealed tantalizing bits of information, such as how former chapter president Patrick Lufkin’s worst job was cleaning poison oak off a garage roof. Everyone had a good time, and the socializing went on well after the official ending time.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, many of the celebrants did not go home empty-handed.
The holiday party was the chapter’s final gathering at the London Wine Bar, where the chapter has been meeting for over eight years. Starting in January of 2005, the chapter’s monthly meetings will be at the Elephant & Castle, which is on Clay near Battery (a couple of blocks from the London Wine Bar). We look forward to seeing you at the Elephant & Castle during 2005.
