Topics

Dinner @ 6:00 PM

Join us for dinner at Artuzzi’s at our normal meeting time of 6:00 PM. Good Italian at a good price–and even better, we get a 10% off group discount. But most importantly, it’s a time for fun with friends! Don’t worry if you’re a bit late–Artuzzi’s is consistently fast!

Artuzzi’s is located just around the corner from WhirlyBall Atlanta;click here for the Mapquest map to Artuzzi’s where you can get customized driving directions to Artuzzi’s.

Guests are welcome!

WhirlyBall @ 7:15 PM

After dinner, we’ll head over to WhirlyBall Atlanta for our annual year-end social event! ACFUG will pay for the WhirlyBall court time; drinks at the WhirlyBar are dutch treat.

What is WhirlyBall? Naturally, some of you do not have a clue what WhirlyBall is. You can get the scoop on the game and how to get to the facility on the Whirlyball Atlanta site. And finally, on YouTube you can watch a video slideshow from our 2006 Holiday Social. You’ll see pretty quickly that WhirlyBall is crazy, zany, silly, goofy, and so on and so forth–but that athletic skill and physical exertion are not required! It’s a ton of fun; join us!

As with dinner, guests are welcome!
