MARK YOUR CALENDARS! If you are able to assist with set-up, this will be Friday, December 3 starting 3:30 p.m.   Any items for the sale tables should be dropped off between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., on Friday, December 3, unless by special arrangement with the table leads.  This is important, it is far preferable to have all the items in place when we open the doors on December 4 and let in the "crowd".  This would be baking, preserves, pantry items, previously loved jewelry, Christmas Decor all in excellent condition.  Please remember that all protocols (masks) will be in place and proof of vaccination will be necessary when entering the Tea Room.
