First Friday Women's Night, January 3, 2025 6:30 p.m. This is for all who identify as women, ages 21 and up. Welcoming and supportive. Bring a finger food to share, if you are able, but even if not, just come and enjoy. This month has a theme... read on.

This is our annual Dirty Santa (aka White Elephant) Gift Exchange Game. Bring ONE wrapped or otherwise bagged/hidden gift that SOMEONE might like. We will start the GAME at 7 p.m. going over the how-to's.

It is called "Dirty Santa" but that doesn't have to be literal. Really, the point is the laughs and camaraderie, more so than the gifts. Remember the Elton John concert shoes? The painted wine glasses? The coconut monkey mask wall hanging? We don't want people spending much! If you are repurposing that lovely gift that Aunt Millie gave you, or sharing something nice you made, or passing on a new bath and beauty basket that just ISN'T you, all the better. It SHOULD be clean and in working order.

At the end of the event, everyone gets to free trade anything they want with others. Items that y'all don't want but might benefit our local women's shelter will be collected and donated. NO leaving your gift hidden in the hosts home, thanks!

Write to WomensGroup@hvuuc.org for the address: it is not published for security reasons.

Parking: There is shotgun parking in the driveway for three-four cars (first in, last out), and 3 spots in the back lot in the alley. Beyond that is neighborhood street parking.
