@reef-communitylife would like to invite you to a celebration to kick-start 2026. By then the year won’t be that New anymore, but still Fresh enough to be celebrated!
This year we will prepare ourselves early for blue Monday, so that we are well ready and filled with Joy and Glitters by the 26/01! So we will meet earlier than usual, on Sunday 18 of January 2026 most likely in the afternoon.
The venue hasn’t been decided yet, but it would be great if @joannes you would be able to host us! Let us know
As for festivities, there will be a Secret Santa, which @LuciaM will be organising soon.
Can you let us know if you would be joining?
I will be gladly joining
I have little one(s) and they also will be joining
The time is near! Here are a few more details about the party next weekend: Timing and location: 2-5pm at Joannes (Thanks a lot! ) We will do a potluck, I’ll post a poll soon. For dietary restriction, not all dishes need to accomodate for it, but we do want to make sure there is enough of a selection for everyone; you will find the list of the dietary restrictions here This year for presents, we will write an appreciation card to someone. You will receive the name of your appreciatee soon! You can either come with a card you have baught or made, and there will also be a creative corner to make it for those who would like to be spontaneous on the spot! And finally please bring anything that will be making it festive, like things to decorate the room or yourself!
We are also preparing a secret activity! Should be fun!
Regarding the cards : I made a mistake, it’s actually an anything goes card! So it can be best wishes for 2026, or an invitation for coffee, or an appreciation, or a drawing, or … You choose!
You are of course welcome to write to more people if you feel like it!
Here is the poll for the food; we are going for celebratory tea time this year
I’ll bring cake or other tea time option
I’ll bring something to drink
I’ll bring some bubbles
I’ll bring something suitable for a type of dietary restriction (please say in a comment below what that would be)
Timing and location: 2-5pm at Joannes (Thanks a lot!
