[Texascavers] Bexar Grotto Holiday Party 5:30 pm, Saturday, December 15, 2018

2018-11-30 Thread Geary Schindel
Folks,

This is a reminder that the Bexar Grotto Holiday Party will be held on 
Saturday, December 15, 2018 at Sue, Geary and Aspen Schindel’s house at 11310 
Whisper Dawn, San Antonio, Texas. The event will start at 5:30 pm and run until 
sometime later in the evening.

There will be a pot luck dinner so please bring a dish and make sure you take 
it home with you. Let me add that there have been some great dishes (with food 
on them) at previous parties but any contributions are appreciated. BYO 
beverage if you have particular tastes,

There will also be a White Elephant gift exchange starting around 8 pm  so 
please bring a reasonable gift if you want to participate. Homemade gifts with 
a theme or story are always appropriate. Estimated value of a gift should range 
from $0 to $20.

We will also be doing a food drive for Sue’s rolling pantry that she provides 
to many of her social work clients. So, dry goods, household consumables, 
canned food, etc is always appreciated.

Cavers and guests are welcome to attend.

Rules:

  *   We encourage and support “designated drivers” If you are not in condition 
to drive home, we have couch and floor space for you – and we will insist you 
stay. We’ll make breakfast for anyone spending the night;
  *   Please don’t block my neighbor’s driveways;
  *   No pets;
  *   Children are welcome as long as they are supervised. Note that the house 
is not kid proof.
  *   If you want to get in the hot tub, bring a towel; and,
  *   Last but not least, stay off the roof.

Thanks,

Geary, Sue, and Aspen

Also,

don't forget to bring a can or box of food or other items to go into the

[Texascavers] Bexar Grotto Holiday Party on Saturday, December 17

2011-12-02 Thread Geary Schindel
Folks,

The Bexar Grotto of the NSS will have a holiday party at Sue and Geary 
Schindel's  house on Saturday evening, December 17, 2011.  The address is 11310 
Whisper Dawn, San Antonio, Texas. The party will start around 6 pm and will be 
a pot luck dinner and holiday celebration.  So, whether you celebrate 
Christmas, Kwanza, Chanukah, Muharram, Lhabab Duchen, Rohatsu, winter solstice 
or Amitabha Budda Day, please come.

Rules of the party - please read very carefully.

Cavers and guests are welcome; however, we would prefer that you NOT bring any 
living non-human species unless they are service animals such as seeing eye, 
hearing ear, or tasting tongue dogs or monkeys.  Dead animals, properly 
prepared and in an appropriate holiday sauce, are welcome and encouraged. We 
will also have the grill fired up.  Bring a dish with some food in it.  Take 
your dish home when you leave. If you see any dishes (or coolers) from last 
year that are yours, take them home also. Don't take anything else home except 
gifts. Please bring a can of food or other dry goods as a donation to the San 
Antonio Food Bank. Though a limited amount of beverages will be available, you 
may want to bring your own. Stay off the roof. The hot tub will be up and 
running, please bring your own towel and bathing suit - or not.  No fireworks.  
If you must yak, yak outside (I prefer the backyard as this doesn't impress the 
neighbors and has been known to remove the paint finish off cars.)

The Grotto has a customary white elephant exchange so bring a wrapped gift if 
you want to participate.  All white elephant gifts MUST go home with the new 
owners.  The white elephant swap will start around 8 pm.

If you want to or need to spend the night, we'll serve breakfast to everyone on 
Sunday morning (you may be asked to help clean the house LOL).
Have fun,

Geary and Sue Schindel

If you have a food allergy, bring an epi-pen – actually, bring two p

Please leave your varmints at home unless they’re on a dish – I  
already have two varmints, thanks anyway.




Stay off the roof, and stay off my neighbor’s roof.



Please make an effort to keep all bodies and bottles within the
