--President
--Vice President

--Secretary

Nominations will then be published in the December newsletter and elections held at the December 4 business meeting.

Other agenda items will include a bylaws change regarding membership fees and planning for our annual anniversary event in February.

Note that since this event is in a private home, you must RSVP to get directions.

FYI, this home has both a dog and a cat residing here. And the dog is a very active and very large puppy, but I'll ask the teenager to keep him downstairs in the family room, so we can all avoid the 70 pound lap dog!

Empty Bowls

11 attended (est.) – 4.50 4.503

The annual Foodshare Empty Bowls event at Manchester Community College. It’s a great event. For your $15 admission, you get to select a bowl from the hundreds of hand-made bowls that have been donated by both professional and amateur local potters. Then on to the scrumptious soups. With the variety of selections, you will be full well before you try all the ones you wanted to.

After lunch, the bowl is yours to keep! A great lunch, a bowl to take home, and you’ve supported the work to end hunger in greater Hartford. What could be better? Those who are interested may wish to shop the craft fair afterwards. We’ll meet a noon near the “bowl table.” Tickets may be purchased in advance from Gloria or at the door.

Be sure to RSVP so that we know to look for you.
