So far we have meat & cheese tray (and bread, condiments), cookies, Chex party mix, plates & napkins. Please let Lila or Hank A know what you can bring to share.
We know this is a busy time and many of us have other obligations. If you know you won’t be able to make it, please let Lila or Hank A know so we’ll have an idea of how many people to prepare for.
No special line up of songs–we’ll be choosing songs to sing and play together.
