Join me and the other HHHHers for a little liquid Thanksgiving. We’ll be returning to the Renaissance Washington, DC Dupont Circle Hotel this month. As we’ve been doing for the past few years, we’ll be meeting on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. It’s sort of like a Thursday and always seems to draw a good crowd.
There won’t be a drink ticket system this month. Helpful hint: Having cash on hand helps to keep the transactions quick. This month, 10% of the proceeds from the specialty $5 handcrafted cocktails will go to support PFLAG. Come out to see your friends before the holiday and to support a good cause. |
