Guess what?Josie, Carmin, Patty, Eli, and I realized that many of our cohort members will be bored on December 25, 2009. Some of us either don’t have family members in USA or commemorate Christmas on Christmas Eve.
Well, we had to do something about this inconvenient…
We are going ice skating on December 25, 2009 at Millennium Park, Chicago…
We are planning to meet there around 10am. There is a $10 fee to rent the skates and everything else is free.
Are you feeling like ice skating with us? We will be happy to have you!
By the way, we don’t know how to ice skate, so we will all fall together and have fun!
Happy Holidays!!
Monica :)
