Hello all - Lynn, Kate and I had an idea.... We would love to have a Christmas Get Together... Last year we had one at my home and we had lots of fun - this year we're thinking of stepping it up a bit....
We were thinking we might have it at a hall .... here are some questions for you all ?

We were thinking of spouses / significant others this year ? anyone interested or prefer to have it just us ?

Lots of people have commented that they would like a chance to "dress up" so we could do a more formal event - or just casual ? your thoughts.....

There would probably be a small charge to cover the hall rental, a dj and other incidentals - in addition we thought we could keep costs down if we all bring WLS friendly food.....

In addition not sure how fancy the hall would be - would that be a downer on the dressing up ? There is still a lot to be done - just wanted to put it out there and see what the intersest would me and if we should bother going forward with it......

Looking to hear from all of you on this board and surrounding states if you're willing to travel.....

My weight loss center is having a Christmas party/chilli cook off. Maybe we could do something like that ...everyone bring their fave chilli and we can vote on our fave ...just throwing a suggestion out.

I think it would be nice to meet the people I have been chatting with and as long as it doesn't interfere with other events going on I would like to attend. 

Significant others / spouses would be ok. 

As far as dressing up, hey it's a party and gives us an excuse to show off our hard work.

I personally do not eat chili and I think a varied menu would be much better as opposed to only one thing for a menu.

Paying a small charge would be acceptable for me.
