Happy Hour & Helping Hands: 

A Holiday Drive for Light House Shelter!

As the holiday season approaches, we're reminded of the importance of community and giving back. That's why I'm thrilled to invite you to our Happy Hour & Helping Hands event on December 12th, 4-6pm at Notch 8 Brewery in Annapolis Junction.

This isn't just any happy hour. It's a chance to connect with fellow members, share festive cheer, and support a local homeless shelter with a special donation drive.

Here's the plan:

• Mingle and mingle! Enjoy delicious appetizers, refreshing drinks, and lively conversation with your fellow (ISC)2 friends.
• Support a critical cause in AA county by providing a gift or gift card to the Light House Shelter for homeless this season. Put a smile on their residents' faces by donating a holiday stocking, children's item, community client item, or gift card this holiday season. https://annapolislighthouse.org/get-involved/volunteer-opportunities/
• The AJ Chapter leadership team will gather the items and deliver to the Light House Shelter by Dec 17th. 
• Please take a moment to scroll through entire list before signing up. Feel the holiday spirit! We'll have festive tunes, holiday games, and maybe even a surprise visit from someone special (think jolly beard and red suit!).  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/409054CAFAB22A2FA7-45969895-thelight#/
  
• We have a limited supply of (ISC)2 Community Service t-shirts to giveaway for donors as well. 

Whether you bring a donation, share a smile, or simply raise a glass to a good cause, your presence will make a world of difference. We're aiming to fill the shelter's shelves with warmth and hope this holiday season, and we can't do it without you!

RSVP by Friday 12/8 so we can get a headcount for the festivities.

Let's raise our glasses, open our hearts, and make this holiday season truly special for those in need.

See you there!

With gratitude, your AJ Chapter Leadership team

Kris, Chase and Gail
