Next Meeting Date
Our next meeting date is Thursday, December 7th at 7 pm at the Old Courthouse Museum. Look for the invite in your email. We will have a short business meeting followed by a social time. For the social, bring a treat to share – perhaps an ethnic snack or dessert or something your family would make for the holidays. Plan for 25 people. It is a plus if you bring the recipe to share as well. We will spend some time getting to know one another better! All are welcome!
