Hi Wiki Yorkers,

You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community in December for our "WikiWednesday" evening salon and knowledge-sharing workshop at Babycastles gallery by 14th Street / Union Square in Manhattan.

**This month, we will also host a Newcomer's Wiki Workshop for those who want to get started on the project!**

We will also include a continued look at our annual plan and budget ideas, and welcome input from community members on the sorts of projects the chapter should support through both volunteer and budgetary efforts.

We welcome the participation of our friends from the Free Culture movement and from educational and cultural institutions interested in developing free knowledge projects. We will also follow up on plans for recent and upcoming editathons, and other outreach activities.

After the main meeting, pizza/chicken/vegetables and refreshments and video games in the gallery!
