New Year’s Events
By Chris Murphy
As you sit with this magazine in your hands, is your head shaking about how fast this year went by? I know my head is spinning and just wishing it would all slow down, but it doesn’t. Time speeds by and you had better start thinking about what you are going to do on New Year’s Eve. It is a timeless question and there are limited number of babysitters, and if there were an Uber for babysitting, the rates are going up.
Remember – Plan on taking a cab, Uber or Lyft or make sure you have a designated driver. We want to make sure all of our ModestoView friends have a blast and stay safe.
Here are some of the things you should be thinking about as we cross the line into 2016.
