Post-Thanksgiving Gathering

Friday, November 29, 4-7 PM
at the UUCNC meetinghouse (222 Temple St., Fredonia).

RSVP by 8 PM on Wednesday, November 27: If you plan to attend this gathering, please call or email Cheryl Ritch, or leave a message on UUCNC’s voicemail, 716 679-7944, and your message will be relayed.

UUCNC members and friends and their families and friends of all ages are invited to a post-Thanksgiving gathering at the UUCNC meetinghouse. Let’s not go shopping on “Black Friday” for things we don’t need. Let’s lift up our beloved community rather than consumerism.

Bring your Thanksgiving leftovers or a favorite dish to share — please list the ingredients for anyone with dietary concerns — and bring musical instruments, crafts, games, and, most important, yourself. Cheryl Ritch will open the building at 4 PM, and we’ll share dinner at 5 PM. This gathering will be very informal, but Cheryl would welcome any assistance.
