Pot Luck Party

On Wednesday, December 6, lots of Friends volunteers chowed down at a
holiday pot luck party in the Friends Room at the Visitor Center. It’s been a while
since we’ve had a group event centered around food, food, and more food!
It was a chance to sit, chat and eat with people we hadn’t seen for a long
time or with folks we’d never met, even though they might have been volunteers
for many years. Thanks to everyone who brought the food and cleaned up!
