Our December member meetup will be our Winter Solstice party!

We'll have dinner (both meat and vegan options), dessert and warm drinks.

This will be in person only.

What is winter solstice?

The winter solstice is a moment when one of the Earth’s hemispheres reaches its maximum tilt away from the Sun. As a result, this hemisphere gets the least amount of daylight and experiences the shortest day in a year. On the winter solstice, the Sun’s path in the sky is farthest south in the Northern Hemisphere and farthest north in the Southern Hemisphere.
