DIRECTIONS TO HALL ON BACK OF FLIER!

* - Please join us for our pot luck before the dance!  Bring along your favorite dish.  Bring enough for 8 people and label your dish with the ingredients for people with special diet needs.  Please consider bringing a main course.  Please note: if your dish requires cutting or slicing, be sure it is ready-to-serve when you arrive.  And don't forget the serving spoon!  Dinner will be served from 6:30PM to 7:45PM.  (The beginner workshop starts at 8 and we need to clean up!)  Last year we had nearly 100 people for the pot-luck and it was excellent!  We're expecting even more this year!  The food was GREAT!  Don't miss out!!!!!!
