20s & 30s Charity Happy Hour at Pasha Lounge

Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 6:00 PM (ET)

The holidays are coming up... and as much as I love my family, by the end of the looong holiday season, I just feel theneed to get out, and have some fun. Who feels me?Sooo I've planned the December happy hour smack dab in the middle of Thanksgiving and the Christmas / Hanukkah /Kwanza / etc. holidays!Our happy hour will benefit Habitat for Humanity...http://www.dchabitat....... an organization with the mission to eliminate

poverty housing and homelessness in the nation's capital by building affordable, energy- and resource-efficient homes forpeople in need... suggested $5 or $10 donation.Please note 80% of donations go to the Habitat for Humanity and 20% of

donations will go to the 20s & 30s Going Out Group to cover Meetup fees and expenses.

DJ Saam will be spinning loungy groovy beats for us. Our happy hours typically bring out 150 - 200 folks... and I wouldn'tbe surprised with a similar turnout this time around.If you haven't been there before, Pasha Lounge features palatial lights with state of the art decor, custom wave walls, anddramatic mosaic tiling! 21+To help continue the friendly tone of this group... I'd like to again encourage each person to have a GOAL OF MEETING 3NEW PEOPLE at this event. To help do this, for an icebreaker, we'll put your name in a jar as you walk in, and then giveyou someone else's name from the jar. Also, 20s & 30s Rockstars, please help make all the newcomers feel welcome toour group!- J.T.--Closest Metro is Dupont Circle (Red Line), I suggest metro / cabbing it (esp. during rush hour). I also recommendusingwmatafor travel plans. Don't forget to account for Metro and traffic delays.
