January Board Meeting 

Date:
Tuesday, January 3

Time: 7:30PM

Location: Ellen MacEntee's Home, 434 S. Waiola, La Grange 


Please let me know if you can make it. If no one from your committee is able to attend, please let me know if you have any information you would like to share.

 

Please RSVP to Ellen MacEntee  

 

Gourmet Lunch or Dinner

If you are interested in being a hostess or co-hostess for January's gourmet, please contact Sherry Glazov    

 

Date: Thursday, January 19     

 

Here's how it works: the hostess and co-hostess plan a menu. The co-hostess makes the main entree or meat dish and the hostess sets her table. Each attendee is assigned one item from the menu (i.e. appetizer, salad, drink, side dish or dessert). At the end, what each person spent is divided among the participants so the cost is equal. Please join us we love to see new faces! 


All are welcome!

Time: 7:30-9:30PM (Come anytime)

Whether you have recently joined La Grange Area Newcomers or Neighbors or are thinking about joining, please come to our next New Member night.
