Party is still on for New Year's Eve, but we talked about also meeting earlier and playing board games in the library at the church.  I asked but haven't heard back from Karen, but I'll assume it's ok.  There is a service of Lessons and Carols at Advent starting at 5pm, so I suggest we meet at 8pm at the church.  Please don't interrupt the service if it's still going on!  We'll crack the window by the Mt. Vernon St door while we're downstairs so you can get our attention, and we'll check both doors from 11-11:15p for those who want to ring but not game :-)
If the church asks us not to come early, I'll send another email and think of plan B.

Advent has given us permission to resume our New Year's Eve ringing!  We ring at Advent around midnight, with someone tolling in the new year - and celebratory ringing before and after, including firing.  Also pot luck snacks and libations in the library downstairs.  All ringers at all levels are welcome and will get a chance to ring, and please bring along family and friends if they want to join.
We'll meet at the Brimmer St door around 11:15pm.  I'll put a column in the spreadsheet so we know approximately who is coming.  The T is free and runs late that evening.
Hope to see you there!
