SUMMER POTLUCK - Tuesday August 11, 5:30 p.m. - No sign-ups necessary! Just bring a room temperature or cold dish to share and we will beat the heat together in Centennial Hall. Talk to friends, share your summer news, or just come try all kinds of different goodies. St. James will provide iced tea, iced coffee, lemonade and water. Feel free to bring another beverage of choice with your dish. No time to cook? No problem, deli counters and bakeries at all the stores around us have lots of options. All ages welcome, casual attire is expected. Come as you are and take the time to enjoy each other’s company.
