This month we are trying out a new format. Instead of serving dinner after the presentation, we will serve cheese and appetizers from 4:30 to 5:15, then start the program. A small donation is suggested for the food, and wine will be served for a 3 dollar donation. The program will include announcements and a Humanist Moment before the presentation begins.
We hope to see you at 4:30pm, on Sunday, May 27th, at Jefferson Unitarian Church! ____________________________________________________________________________________
