Thanks to generous church and community members, we already will have 2 turkeys and 1 ham. Volunteers are needed to BAKE the turkeys, not buy them! Those who are able please sign up to bring a side dish to share. There will be a separate sign up for those actually coming to the dinner. It is not necessary to bring a dish to come. All dishes should come “ready to serve” with serving utensil and enough for about 8 people. Please have your dish at the church by 2:00 PM so everything can be set out, and the actual meal can begin by about 2:30 pm. This means, if one hour is allowed for eating and conversation, that Clean Up will begin about 3:30 PM, and volunteers can be heading home before dark. Don’t forget to bring take-home containers for leftovers!
