Annual year-end, or Christmas, party - take your pic - on Dec. 15.
Takes the place of the usual monthly meeting. Family and/or friends welcome.
The club truncates the regular meeting to the first hour, often suitably themed, and socializes the second hour of the meet.
Of course, if you feed them they will come, so please let Michael know what will be potluck offered (and don't go overboard on quantity as that leaves the question of leftovers {or not if the item is reallly tasty}).
Michael will advise of the options as they are relayed to him.
Pops, juices, tea, coffee will be supplied by the club, as well as plating, cutlery, drinking gourds, etc.
Please make Friday, Dec. 13, your lucky deadline for claiming a particular submission.
Thanks.
Oh, if there are any intents to contribute socialized activities for the second half, please let us know that as well. Rolly will probably do trivia, Michael is looking into fun songs, but all else will be welcomed as time permits.
