The party never stops at WeWork. Even after bankruptcy

At WeWork, company execs are refusing to let its US bankruptcy filing be a downer on the Christmas spirit.  

The shared office space business has put on a host of exciting events for its members over the Christmas season, including:  

 - A ‘Christmas Beach Party’  

 - A ‘Winter Skincare Masterclass’  

 - A one-off special ‘Help us locate our elves’ event (how about locating some funding?)  

 - Self-love aromatherapy sessions  

 - End of year meditation classes

Just where do they get the money from? Perhaps they can put the expenses down to the mysterious ‘Community EBITDA’ metric the company’s founder used to bang on about.  

WeWork members were last week also treated to a 'year in review' missive from management, where the company boasted of its highlights of the year, including that it hosted over 93,000 events and doled out over 10 million cups of coffee. There was one significant moment in WeWork's recent history that it neglected to mention -- can you figure out what it was?
