Cookie Making Extravaganza - hosted by Sacred Circle program
Sacred circle is also committed to helping our own community stay connected in small but meaningful ways.
We are hosting a Cookie Making Extravaganza on Saturday, December 12 from 10:00am thru 1:00pm, or for however long you want to come.
Find a safe place to put your laptop, tablet, or phone in your kitchen and join your friends on Zoom for some laughs and seasonal goodwill. You don’t have to make cookies, you can just come to visit. Several of us will be making Shirley Dinger's special cookies, maybe she can show us how to make ours as good as hers! Please extend our invitation to friends and neighbors (even those far away). We will include the Zoom link as the event gets closer! See ya there!
