\nIn the spirit of the holiday season, TGEA is pleased to host a potluck at our December Second Friday Meeting on December 13th, 7:00-8:30 PM.
\nWe encourage everyone to bring a dish of choice! Please note on the dish if it contains allergens that attendees may react to (allergens are not limited to: dairy, gluten, and peanuts). Please bring serving utensils for your dishes; TGEA will provide plates, napkins, and utensils.
\nWe very much look to breaking bread with everyone in our community and having unstructured time just to catch up!
