January Exchange

I would be willing to host for January. How does this work for everyone?

Tuesday, January 12th
7:00 P.M.
Alisha Ashtons' home

Let me know if you want to do the exchange for January so we can get numbers of how many meals to make!

January Exchange

Is anyone willing to host in January? If not I'd be willing to host again.

Jamie had mentioned doing a frozen dessert exchange as well. Would you guys like to do this separate from a meal exchange or in collaboration with meals? We could do it in January or February. Feel free to give feedback.

Thanks everyone for your great participation.

Clarification

Just to clarify for everyone. The exchange was changed to Thur the 10th, 7:00pm due to the memorial service for Sister Long scheduled on Tues. evening.
Location: 12226 Fall River Pass Ln (my house)
Thanks. Sorry about the confusion.

Count for December

Ok, for the meal exchange there are 6: Eva, Mitzi, Erin, Alisha, Jamie, Becca.

For the cookie exchange there are 4: Eva, Mitzi, Erin, & Jamie.
So everybody make 4 dozen of your favorite cookie. Plate them up by the dozen so they are easy to exchange. You'll go home with 3 dozen different cookies and keep a dozen of your own cookie. Such an easy way to get Christmas plates together.

Let me know if I missed anyone.

Dec Exchange

Erin pointed out that Maralayne Long's memorial is the night of the 8th. Would everyone interested still be able to make the exchange if we pushed it back to Thur the 10th?

December 8th Exchange

Hi, Just a reminder the meal exchange for this month is at my house (12226 Fall River Pass Ln) 7:00pm. If you are planning on participating in the meal exchange this month please let me know asap so I can get the numbers to everyone.



Also, since most of you were either traveling or unable to participate in the cookie exchange the RS just had I thought I'd open up our freezer meal exchange as a cookie exchange as well. I've asked Erin to let the rest of the RS know also that way you can get a bigger variety of cookies from the exchange. So let me know if you are interested in participating in the cookie exchange in addition to the freezer meal exchange. Please let me know by this Friday.
Thanks!
