December Meeting: Annual CJWA Holiday Potluck Dinner and Toy Drive for Hurricane Sandy relief
Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 12:05PM It’s time for the annual CJWA Holiday potluck dinner, where we gather together to talk about woodworking in the presence of entirely too much food. The December meeting will be held on Wednesday, December 12 at 7:00 pm sharp. Because of the set up time and wanting to get dinner underway, please come early.
As we have done in the past, everyone is asked to bring a main course, a side dish or a dessert. If you bring enough for 6 to 8 people we should have more then enough for everyone. The club will provide soda, water, paper plates and plasticware. Spouses are certainly welcome to come, and we will have a meeting following the feast.
To keep the menu balanced please e-mail Marc Gaertner at marcleslieg@gmail.com to indicate what food you are bringing to avoid a situation where we have all desserts. Not that there’s a problem with all desserts, of course. If anyone wants to volunteer to bring coffee in lieu of a food item, that would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: In addition to the potluck dinner, Old Brick Reformed Church is coordinating a project to collect unwrapped toys that will be distributed to shelters and centers for Hurricane Sandy victims. Pastor Huyck has asked if we can help. Please consider bringing an unwrapped toy to the December meeting so it can be wrapped by the church volunteers and distributed to a child for the holidays.
This is a wonderful opportunity for us to partner with the church and do something meaningful for the community.
Hurricane Sandy Relief: at last month’s meeting we started taking cash contributions for Hurricane Sandy Relief. Donations will be accepted at December’s meeting, too. Please drop something in the box if you can spare it.
