Additional details

For December, we’re bringing a little bit more of the community into our event – or rather, YOU are! We’re having a holiday breakfast potluck!

Bring a food item to share from your own holiday breakfast traditions to share with the CMFay community and, as usual, we’ll have plenty of delicious Confident Coffee to go with it! And we’d really appreciate it if you would describe your item in the spreadsheet linked here so we can alert folks who may have food sensitivities!

We’ll be in the library’s Ziegler Reception Room, toward the south end of the building. Park in the lot south of the library and enter by the deli, or park in the garage and exit on the lower level, take a quick walk across the J.B. & Jonelle Hunt Family Gathering Glade (the outdoor courtyard) to the entrance doors next to the big event center!
