White Christmas
This year the decorating committee for the Christmas Luncheon is getting their inspiration from using items that can be found in nature or recycling items that people do not want to use this year. To do this they need your help in collecting lots of pinecones of all sizes. The button below will help you get the instructions to treat the pinecones so that there are not any hitchhikers.
Also, in need of white or silver ornament balls. Do you have a flocked tree you could share for the event or some glass vases? If yes, the directions also tell you how to get with one of the committee members to help out.
