Nothing says Happy Birthday like too much sugar, so this will be a dessert event. Do feel free to bring a dessert to share, but don't feel pressured; there'll be plenty (including a selection of gluten free goodies); and if you have some TBs needing to move on, bring those too.
This Dessert Island event will be held at the Cache Crop HQ, on Saturday, January 7th, beginning at 6pm and continuing until we get done stuffing our faces, chit-chatting and playing games (or 9 pm, whichever comes first ;) ). If you see someone you don't know, do demonstrate your "friendly Canadianness" and introduce yourself.
For information about all things HAG remember to check HAG caching.
