LIFT Christmas Social 2021

by

We’re in month 53,496 of this pandemic. Or at least that’s what it feels like… but let’s celebrate anyway! It’s Christmas, and LIFT is celebrating a new owner with a new vision, Liz Wootton (who you may know from Human Nature Development) – here’s an invitation from Liz…

Please join us for a virtual gathering on Thursday Dec 16th at 7pm. It’s a great opportunity to connect, reconnect, and hear a little bit about the new direction LIFT will be heading in 2022. It’s free to attend, and open to everyone (you don’t have to be a current LIFT member).

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it is:

  1. Accept this invitation by texting your name, email and XMAS to (778) 608-5999. Do it!
  2. Show up to Rally, dressed in your festive best (whether that’s decked out in sparkles or hunkered down in pjs)
  3. Make a delicious cocktail/mocktail to flaunt to the other party-goers and share your recipe. Prize for the most interesting. ($25 for Atlas Café)

There might be singing. There will certainly be the opportunity to share any new YOU have.

I would LOVE to see you there..

Liz
