Bay Area Social Events (BASE)

Let's get together for Thanksgiving eve at The Canopy Rooftop Lounge in Downtown St. Petersburg. With spectacular views of Tampa Bay, the Banyan trees of Straub Park and the downtown skyline, The Canopy boasts as one of the most desirable destinations in St. Petersburg.

The Canopy Rooftop Lounge, where the waters of Tampa Bay are your backdrop to glass, sky and grass, is outfitted with private cabanas, living room seating, fire pits, casual dining areas and a sky bar. We can have drinks and appetizers and enjoy good company.

Parking: There is street parking but it's for 2 hours and metered. Some areas around the corner are longer but you might have to walk a couple blocks.

There is also a parking garage a couple blocks away.

*Please be aware that The Canopy includes an automatic service charge of 18-20% on your bill, so tipping your server is not necessary.

For the orphans that don't have a family to share the holiday with or just the 2 of you and you would like to have dinner with a few more people, we will get together for a Thanksgiving dinner. I will supply the Turkey, Ham, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Pumpkin Pudding Shots, Eggnog, Wine and Drinks (non-alcoholic and alcoholic). Everyone else will bring a side dish to share. CASH is accepted if you do not want to bring a dish. Bring to go containers for left overs. When confirming RSVP please state what you are bringing so we don't have all the same food. Again. please don't RSVP until you are sure you are coming. Other meetup groups will be coming also.

Bring a batch of your favorite cookies to share. Also bring the recipe to exchange. Beverages will be provided. We will share the spirit of the holiday season, listen to music and enjoy. Don't forget to bring a container for cookies to take home.

Come and join in the holiday spirit at my holiday party. I will supply HAM and Liquor (champagne, eggnog, wine, beer, and mixed holiday drinks). If you'd like something else to drink, please bring your own. Also, there will be peppermint pudding shots. There will also be a holiday gift exchange - $20 gift for those that would like to participate. Please make sure the gift is new and unopened and something NICE. This is not an Elephant exchange but a Holiday exchange. Alcohol and chocolate are always a hit. Please bring a small holiday dish to share that can feed around 6-10 people max. If you make enough for everyone, there will be way too much food left over, so keep the dish small. Please post in the comment section what you will bring, so we don't have 20 people bringing pumpkin pie :-) I will email my exact address the week before the event, so be on the look out. Ho ho ho!! THIS IS WITH ANOTHER MEETUP GROUP.
