▪ It's time to party!!!  This year's Christmas Party will be Sat. Dec. 10. Potluck dinner will commence at 6:30 pm.  We have already contacted the North Pole and Santa has agreed to stop by for a while.  His elves told him that everyone had been very good this year but he would like to know which girls and boys under the age of sixteen will be attending. He is so busy this time of year with parties and parades we would like to help him out and send him a list. So if the grown-ups will let one of the Social Committee members know who is coming we can send him one!! We are also looking for entertainers for the evening so if you have a talent you would like to share there will be a sign-up sheet posted.
