Valentine's Day Party

  • Wednesday, February 10
  • 11:30 am -2:00 pm
  • Crestview Community Center

Mom’s Christmas Dinner and Ornament Exchange

RF250108 Our Moms’ special event will be a Christmas dinner and ornament exchange on Friday, December 18 at 6:30 PM. The event will be held at the Highland Baptist Church Annex.

Please RSVP by Friday, December 11.    The main dish and vegetables will be provided by the committee.

Sign up will be held closer to the event for appetizers, green salads, desserts, rolls, drinks, ice, and hot wassail.

This year we are asking for table sponsors. The committee will decorate the tables and our sponsors will bring their fine dinnerware for a service of 8.

We are looking for dinner and salad plates, cup, saucer, silverware, and glasses if possible. The dinnerware does not necessarily have to be Christmas. Drop off would be about 2 o’clock Friday December 18 or we could arrange for prior pick up.

We are also looking for a few teen volunteers to help with table service and clean up of dinnerware. The time frame would be approximately 5:45 PM to 9:00 PM.

Volunteers are still needed for the committee. If you are talented in asking for door prizes or just love to serve, please join us.

Thanks,
