Alphabet Club

alphabet-pictures-hd-wallpaper-11

The library is starting a new food club. Some of you remember “Geography club’ where we made food from different states and countries. Well now we are making food that starts with certain letters.

Each month we will have a main soup, chowder or stew provided by our “Friends” of the Library group. Each person will then bring an accompanying dish that starts with one of the three letters provided that month.  At the moment we are trying a new time frame, our first meeting will be Thursday, February 19th at 5:00 PM.

This month the “Friends” will provide Broccoli Cheese Soup. The letters for the month are B, K or T. 

Remember you can bring anything you want as long as it starts with the letters of the month.  You can even rearrange to make it work. Say you have spinach bacon dip, you just call it bacon spinach dip, or grilled cheese? call it buttered grilled cheese.

Come join us for good food and conversation on the 19th!…

What’s Happening in February?

Both groups will also have some melted chocolate, pretzels and marshmallows to make something for their sweetheart or just to eat.
