Come to greet new and old friends and celebrate the season of new beginnings together. We invite those who are so inclined to bring a favorite nibble to share (one that’s safe to set out at room temperature) and any special beverages you would like in addition to the coffee, tea, hot spiced cider and snacks we will provide.
