Beverages will be provided. If you are willing, you may bring food to share. Just prepare for a small amount, 1/2 to 1 dozen of whatever you wish. Feel free to bring it on or in something festive. It will go on the food table to share with everyone.
If you can, please bring a pair of mittens or gloves (children - adult sizes) to donate to Tomorrow's Choice.
