Hello Sockmonkeys!

Very sorry we ended up having to cancel the 4th quarter potluck. We ended up not only without power, but also with such limited cell service I could barely get texts out to ask for help posting to let everyone know we couldn't get together. Thank you so much to Jen (@Jexx) for posting here on the blog and in as many places as possible to let people know about the change.

Here's hoping the weather cooperates more for the Midway Pie Day and Mug Exchange! 

New to the region and/or group and not sure what that means? Well, it's a fun event that was started to help celebrate reaching the middle of November novel writing and, even though the event that prompted it is no longer going on, it's a fun tradition we're trying to continue. If you'd like to see a bit more about it, feel free to click here to see other posts with photos and descriptions from past events.

You are not required to bring a mug, there are usually a few extra, but it is fun if you can. You are also not required to bring food. This is just meant to be a fun event for our community.

Date: Saturday, November 15th, 2025

Time: 1 - 3 p.m.

Place: University Place Pierce County Library Meeting Room

To give us an idea of how many to expect at the event, please at least RSVP on this Google form if you plan to attend.

To sign up to bring a dish, pie, snack or drink to share, please sign up on this Google form.

For those who are ill or otherwise unable to attend, if you'd like to attend virtually, the event will be video streamed into a dedicated channel in our Regional Discord server. Masks are welcome and encouraged but not required.

Numbers for the mug exchange are drawn about halfway through the event, so even if you arrive a little after the start of the event you'll still be able to participate.

I hope you'll be able to join us for some or all of the event.

P.S. I did also mention this in the last event post, but I'll post another reminder before the official post is up: Our Winter Potluck and Blind Book Exchange is also already on the calendar. It is set for Saturday, December 6th from 1 - 3 p.m. Location and signups can be found on our Google calendar on that date if you'd like to sign up in advance of the blog post going up.
