December "Night of Giving" exchange

We have revised the activity for December.
We will be gathering together to have a "Night of Giving"
Bring an exchange item. It can be a "Service" gift for example (babysit for a night) an "IOU"( make a dozen rolls), a "Gift" (something to give) or a "Treat" gift ( plate of cinnamon rolls or cookies)
We will exchange them in a fun activity.
Also, if you have a great holiday treat, bring it and we will be having Wassail.
Plan on visiting and enjoying the holiday evening with everyone.
