Family Traditions Dinner this Friday!!!! Bring your family and a yummy main dish to add to this annual potluck. Does your family make a special dish that you would like to share? Is there a special food that hearkens back to your family heritage? No matter, make something! We also encourage you to bring re-usable dishes so we make less garbage - every plate, fork and cup counts!!! We will gather at 5:30 and the buffet will be open to eat by 5:45. Come early for hot food and lots of choices! Linger after dinner for ice cream, entertainment and great company!
World Music? Karen Carr is compiling some world music to accompany our Family Traditions Dinner on Friday. Do you have some CD's that could be used that evening? If you are willing to lend them, put your name on them and deliver them to Karen Carr in the office. All Cd's will be returned promptly. Thanks!
