bring-a-treat table; your hot and cold potluck dishes are

smooth transfer, please consider posting a note in advance to drop
the TBs you will be bringing. Please take no more than one for each
one you bring. If you have an extra one to drop, that will allow a
newcomer to grab one if they can help it along. Please sign them in
and out on sheet of paper that we use for answering any questions
that arise during the week to follow. Log them out on website as
soon as you can, but do allow some time if they were not dropped
early.
PUMPKIN PATCH CACHE ITEM exchange will feature a DECORATE YOUR
OWN PUMPKIN or other item for the season. You are also invited to

chance to choose. If you must leave early, something will be
