The December meeting will be an opportunity to get to know your fellow members better and enjoy a wonderful potluck dinner. Sharon and Dana are cooking up some sort of surprise for us. You'll have to come to the meeting to find out what they are doing.
The Club will provide eating utensils, paper products and table decorations. Members will provide the dishes for the potluck. Please bring a dish to share from the categories below, according to the first letter of your last name. Store bought is just fine if you prefer not to cook or bake. If your dish requires serving utensils, please bring them with your dish.
A - F: Toothpick or finger food snack (no utensils needed for this snack)
