Smith-Roberts Annual Holiday Party

Recent news stories have indicated that many companies are pulling the plug on holiday parties because of the economy. We think this sends the wrong message to employees and is bad for morale. While Viacom gave 2 additional personal days to their employees, we intend to move forward with the 18th Annual Smith-Roberts Holiday Party. However, we thought we would take a page from a company we heard about who instead of throwing their office holiday bash will be donating to charity. So with that sense of holiday spirit and hope, we are asking you to bring a contribution (whatever you can afford to give) to The Other Place, a homeless shelter here in Dayton. Please join us as we end 2008 with a celebration of our friends and a look ahead to 2009! Our 2008 holiday letter will be available soon at: noumena12.blogspot.com For those of you who plan ahead, save the date for our 2009 party, mark your calendars for  December 19th 2009!! As always, it will be the 3rd Saturday in December :)<
