Hello everyone,

As we limp toward the end of another exhausting but successful semester, it is time to celebrate!  Whether you celebrate a major religious or cultural holiday this time of year, or if you prefer the airing of grievances and feats of strength, or if you simply want to celebrate the semester ending, YOU ARE ALL INVITED!

What:  Physics & Astronomy annual holiday party and white elephant gift exchange
When: *THURSDAY DECEMBER 4* at 5pm
Where: McFarland Science Building Lobby
Cost: *ZERO* for all faculty and students majoring or minoring in physics and/or astronomy.  This includes both grad students and undergrads.
Food?:  *Yes.*
RSVP: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UbicfC9GocjszHwURGEPsH2n4BOrL_lw_uKc1OKQrgk/edit?usp=sharing

Food will be provided by Soulman’s BBQ and the department.  You may bring a favorite dessert to share if you like, but this is not necessary.

White Elephant Gift Exchange: If you wish to participate in the white elephant gift exchange, please bring a wrapped present of *no more than* $15 value.  A few extra wrapped gifts will be available in case you want to participate but are unable to bring a gift.  If you are unfamiliar with a white elephant gift exchange, a description is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_elephant_gift_exchange

We have our own version of the rules, so don’t worry if you don’t understand.  Please do not bring any alcohol or adult-themed gifts.

Yes, this is right after colloquium!

If you are reasonably sure you are coming, please put your name in the Google form so we can make sure we have enough food.
