Enjoy sounds of the season while Claudia Hojnacki, campus event scheduler, demonstrates how to make and decorate a holiday wreath with decorative bow.  Those who wish to participate should bring their own pair of scissors.

Bring your own lunch and beverage, and mushroom soup using Fr. Demske’s recipe will be provided by Hojnacki.  Holiday cookies would be a great treat for all....if you would like, please bring a dozen cookies to share.  We will be accepting donations for supplies which will be donated to a charitable organization yet to be determined.
