You’re invited to PayPal’s 10th Birthday Party

With 2009 starting on a bit of a downbeat note, after the crisis of 2008, the Financial Services Club thought: what should we do to cheer everyone up? You guessed it, we decided to throw a party. But what's the point of starting the New Year with a party if you're not celebrating anything, so…
