http://www.austinonrails.org/articles_controller.rb/tag?tag=cafb en-us 40 Austin's own Ruby on Rails User Group In lieu of our December meeting, we are going to celebrate our 2nd Anniversary as a group by having a holiday party. Yes, it's become an annual tradition by now...and a darn fine one at that. <p/><p/> We are going to meet at <a href="http://www.buffalobilliards.com/austin">Buffalo Billiards</a> on 6th Street (<a href="http://tinyurl.com/3xbays">map</a>) on Tuesday, December 11th from 6 to 9 PM. We currently don't have any official party sponsorship this year, so we are going to just meet up and grab some pool tables and hang out downtown at Buffalo. Should be fun! <p/><p/> Last year, we donated about 95 pounds of food to the CAFB (Capital Area Food Bank) and I think it would be great if we could do it again. So please, bring some non-perishable food items with you to Buffalo. I'll gather them all and then drop them off at the center. Thanks so much! <p/><p/> <strong>Looking forward to hanging out with you all (!)</strong> next week and shooting some pool while partaking in the beverage of your choice. :) <p/><p/> <i>P.S. I'm looking for a few volunteers who are willing to meet me down there at 5:30 so we can grab up a couple of tables together. Please send me an email if you can help do this.</i> Tue, 04 Dec 2007 22:49:00 -0800 urn:uuid:6b0cf50b-89fb-41a7-a3a8-ef87f9100c53 Damon Clinkscales http://www.austinonrails.org/articles/2007/12/04/holiday-party-tuesday-december-11th-6pm Ruby Rails holiday buffalo cafb aor <h3>Party On</h3> Come on over to Dave & Busters and help us celebrate a year of ridin' the Rails. Our group is just one year old and we are now looking ahead to 2007. Before we ring in the new year, let's take a moment to hang out and enjoy ourselves. We'll have a full fajita buffet, some game cards, 2 billiards tables, and a shuffleboard table all to ourselves. A cash bar will also be available. <h3>Details</h3> WHERE: Dave & Busters (Mopac and 183)<p/> WHEN: Tuesday, December 12th, 7-11PM <p/> <h3>Offering A Helping Hand</h3> I had a vision the other night. In this vision, Austin On Rails not only fed themselves fajitas, but they also fed the hungry in Austin. It is with this in mind, that I ask you to please bring a food donation as admission to the party. I will deliver our donation to CAFB. <h3>Donation Ideas</h3> These are the most commonly requested items at the <a href="http://www.austinfoodbank.org/">Capital Area Food Bank</a>: <ul> <li>canned meats like tuna, stew and chili (pop-tops preferred)</li> <li>canned green beans, canned corn and other canned vegetables</li> <li>pasta & pasta sauce</li> <li>pinto beans</li> <li>rice</li> <li>healthy cereal</li> <li>peanut butter</li> <li>baby food & baby formula</li> </ul> These are just suggestions. Please bring what you can. <h3>Our Sponsor</h3> I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Steven Smith and the whole <a href="http://fiveruns.com/">FiveRuns</a> team for their generous offering of support. Without it, this celebration could not have happened!
