We will be hosting a brunch so please bring your favorite brunch item to share (Finger sandwiches, Pastries, Salads, Fruit/Veggie tray or Chips and Dips). Drinks will be provided.
We also thought it would be fun if everyone brought their own place setting - the mix of dishes on the tables would be beautiful and create lots of conversation. Clear plates will be provided for food to keep your dishes clean and shiny.
We have lots of ideas of how to grow this event, but for this year we will keep the plans a little simpler. We are excited and looking forward to the event. Please let Suzy know if you have any questions.
