RSCDS New Haven Branch Christmas Party is Canceled

There will not be a New Haven Branch Christmas Party in New Haven this season.

The change of space and landlord makes a weekend date untenable for monetary reasons. And the Friends Meeting House is only available on the 19th which is too close to Christmas.

Therefore–

The New Haven Class and Peter's monthly class will be holding a joint Christmas party on Monday, 14 December 2009, at the Friends Meeting House.
