An "Eastern European" Christmas Morning Breakfast!

Yes, I know, it's a stretch to call this event "ethnic food" but who's to tell me differently?

All denominations including non-believers like me are welcome to attend.

They've set aside a table of 30 for us and if more want to come, add your name to the waitlist and contact me personally that you are coming.

You may not sit at the "master table" if you're on the waitlist but you will sit with interesting and intelligent people.

Those who aren't interesting and intelligent are likely at home watching Charlie Brown break the tree limb for the 100th time or Rudolf (finally!) guiding that sleigh after soooooo many false starts with plenty of bullying and microaggressions enough to give the average reindeer PTSD.

And yes, separate checks for each of us!

But anyway.....

1. Entrees must be ordered assuming the event isn’t a buffet. Pizza is an entree. Toast and coffee is NOT.

2. Political and religious discourse is strongly discouraged.

3. Please show up if you RSVP.

4. Please un-RSVP within 12 hours of the event if you cannot attend.

5. Please try to show up within 15 minutes of the time of the event.

Arriving later may disrupt the experience of other members who have arrived on time and begun the ordering process.

6. Please don't message the entire group if you won't be attending an event. Instead, un-RSVP and privately contact those who were expecting you to attend.

7. A "3 strikes and you're out" policy is in effect without exception for repeated no-shows and late cancellations. There will be no reminders to members as to their status. Your action or inaction may deprive a waitlisted member of a place at our table.

8. The best efforts will be made to offer you a positive culinary and social experience. Your positivity is necessary to complete the circle of fun. As such, negative words toward myself or other group members whether verbally or through Meetup related to restaurant choices, times chosen, or group policies would be best left unsaid.

9. Being made uncomfortable by a fellow member necessitates changing seats or a mental note not to sit together again. With this said, the group has zero tolerance for harassment.
