Zoom Party — Celebrating 50 Years Together (1972–2022)

When: Tuesday, February 2, 2022 at 6:00 pm PST

Where: Zoom link to follow, so wherever you have internet access

Dress Code: Zoom Casual… and a Hat!

Join us on February 2nd, 2022 at 6 PM for a Zoom Event to kick off our 50th anniversary year. In addition to celebrating our founding members—and their teachers—we will play a party game or two. Charades on Zoom? Pictionary? Trivial Pursuit?

Yes, 1972 was an exciting year. The Hippies were in their prime and the Hand Bookbinders of California burst onto the scene. Who were our founding board members? Where did they hold meetings? What were the alternative names that the early membership came up with for our organization? What is the name of Roberta Flack’s number one single? What book soared to the top of the New York Times Best Sellers list on October 1st of that year?

Please join us and wear a thinking cap! Literally!

A prize will be awarded for the best hat. All members attending the party who are wearing a hat will receive one vote for the Best Hat Award.
