Nibbles, Noshes and Games.

How about an evening of games and socializing with a few of your favorite nibbles?

Newcomers and old friends are welcome here for an evening of light-gaming and socializing. We're asking everyone to pitch in and bring something from our list. (Declare on your RSVP what you're bringing!) Here's what we'll need:

• Cheeses --- Cubed or sliced but nicely plated. We're going upscale this time!
  
• Fruits or Veggies --- Perfect for nibbling and healthy as can be.
  
• Meats or Cold-cuts --- Cube a salami or just bring a meat plate. Most of us are skipping dinner so make it nice!
  
• Crackers and snackers --- No bags of Lays and Doritos people! We're channeling our inner snobs on this one. It's culture for the uncultured and make it count with water crackers, gourmet crackers, or quirky crackers.
  
• Olives -- We're not talking about a can of olives not fit for a pizza. We want Greek and Spanish olives, pitted or unpitted as you wish. Dripping with oil and oh so tasty!
  
• Two tablecloths --- Okay, so you're not a foodie. You can't cut a cheese cube to save your life. Well guess what? You can pitch-in by classing up the joint with a paper tablecloth from your local grocery or party store! Yes, you're getting off easy, but make it up when you're here by taking out a trash bag and helping with clean-up.
  
• Get creative! --- Are you a cook? How about impressing us with a hot wing, or fried dumpling, or a savory pastry? Make it look nice but more importantly don't use us to experiment with your new recipe!
  
• Homemade dessert? --- It might be nice to finish off with some cupcakes or brownies. Don't bring us the "Oops we made too much" special from Safeway!
  

I know this list looks a little demanding, but we're trying to give you an idea of what we're shooting for. Bring your own drinks, and if your drinks are alcoholic, please drink in moderation. Keep in mind the RSVP's so you know how many people will be coming. Please update your RSVP if you can't make it. We're counting on you to make it nice.

Please bring a game and be ready to teach some others. We'll have fun and look forward to seeing you there!

The event is November 21st and all are welcome. Details and RSVP at Alexandria Fun with Friends.
