What do people think about a watcher holiday dinner on Saturday, December 22nd at 4 p.m. at the Shanghai restaurant on East Henrietta Rd? It has a lazy Susan table. I have eaten there before, so can recommend the eating.
If interested we could do a secret Santa with value of gift to be less than $10. Gifts would be exchanged at random with no one knowing to whom they will give nor from whom they received.
Let me know.

Hi Larry! I see no one has responded to your invite, at least here on the forum. Is anyone able to attend, or would it be better to wait until after the holidays? Isn't this on the West Henrietta Rd? what is everyone thinking about this time and date? Nice restaurant!

A facebook friend re-posted this. I wish I could give credit to who wrote it but it is so beautiful and so touching:
"Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.
I wagged my ... tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid. As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the overworked shel ter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.
As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life.
She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.
Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms.
I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.
I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.
I rescued a human today."
