Each lower school student will visit the sale at some point during that day. Parents are invited to send in a few dollars, so their children can shop for a bookmark, a cookie or a specialty item crafted by one of their peers.

We will serve a light dinner beginning at 5:30 p.m. The meeting will begin promptly at 6 p.m. Join us. Eat a little, socialize a little and learn a lot.
