+  * the nature and size of the event is such that it will not draw the attention of the public through excessive noise or other disturbances
+  * members of the public cannot enter
+  * attendance is by prior invitation only
+  * the special event is attended only by the employer and employees and their guests (or board members and staff and their guests, if the office is not a business)
+  * no fee is charged for entry or entertainment and no fee is charged for services related to the service of liquor (e.g., fees for mix, ice and glasses), and
+  * the event occurs in the office space normally occupied by the business or agency hosting the event.
