meat will be provided by members of the ExCom, but please bring a side dish
or dessert to accompany it. Those bringing their own plates, cloth napkins &
utensils will be able to go first in line. (We have plenty of drink
glasses.) Since this is our major fundraiser for next year's projects and
activities, donations of items for both our live and silent auctions are
needed. To encourage a low-impact holiday season, we are promoting donations
of time and service (i.e., champagne brunch for 14, gardening assistance
(give # of hours), a week-end of pet or child care, garage cleanout, monthly
dessert or bread ... be creative!) We will provide certificates for these
upon request. (And, don't forget to bring your checkbooks to purchase
auction items and merchandise.)
