HDBC General Meeting – Pie Theme Potluck
Our annual tradition is to combine the November and December general meetings and have a potluck dinner. The theme is all food in the form of a pie. We’ve done this before and it was great fun to see who came up with the most creative pie. Some examples are chicken pot pie, quiche, or pumpkin pie. Join us for good food, good company, and good conversation.
We will be meeting at a private residence, so RSVP is required.
