Last night the party happened.   at the clubhouse.  about 25 or so folks.  Mostly NESFA people, but a few furry folks as well.   Food was consumed, someone brought a pot of most excellent turkey chili.   There were leftovers, but mostly were still in the package, so I'll probably bring them to the new years eve thingy at Anne & Tim's.  

It went reasonabley well.   I think I'm gonna see if I can nudge nesfa into doing more party things at the clubhouse.   I spent about 200-300 bucks on food, so not something I want to do out of my own pocket very often.
