I try to take November and December off, but I'm a sucker for alliteration and several members have said they would like to do a 'December Desserts' party again. How could I resist that?!?

Please join me for cruelty-free treats and a chance to hang out with the most enlightened and interesting people in town -- and the Great Dane Duke, who will also be happy to sweeten your day. 

To accommodate as many people as possible, it is an Open House. You can drop in any time starting at 1:30 and stay as short or as long as you like. Well, the party does end at 4:30.  Come hang out with the cool kids.

SPEAKING OF KIDS: I'd love to load your young ones up with sugar.  There will be kid-friendly activities and some music.  Should be a good time for all ages.  Come one, come all, bring friends. Just keep your RSVP up to date please.

BRING: A dessert dish to share. Make sure the dessert is free of meat, dairy and eggs. NOTE: If you want to bring an appetizer or other vegan dish instead of a dessert, that would be a welcome addition to the party. There's just so much sweet a person can take in.

DIRECTIONS TO JJ's: I will send out an e-mail on December 14 with directions to my house and additional important information. If you do not get that e-mail, send me a direct e-mail so we can by-pass Meetup.
