Gargon 2.0
NEMBY, take a look at this letter I just got.
-----
Dear NEMBY,
The last time you captured the Gargon it was brought in for testing. As we had thought, the light of an ordinary flashlight had weakened the Gargon to a controllable state. But as the testing went on the effects of the light wore off and the Gargon actually became stronger than it had been before. We brought in new elements of light to test on the Gargon and it was discovered that 5 of these new elements would weaken the Gargon permanently. However the five light elements needed to be combined for the Gargon to be recaptured and we had made the discovery too late. The Gargon, with his new strength, had already escaped! Gargon 2.0 is on the loose and in new territory. We need YOUR help once again. Please meet us this Friday at SCOTT ST MB CHURCH at 7:00 pm! We will brief you on the Gargon 2.0's new abilities and how you can go about capturing it.
-----
Looks like they need our help. Friday at Scott St MB at 7:00 pm!! Make sure you wear clothes that you can run & sweat in and WEAR PROPER RUNNING SHOES!

Easter Stuff
I'm back!!! I hope you all had a great week. I can't wait to see all of you again! Here's all the info for our Easter events:
Friday at 10:30 am there will be a Good Friday service at Scott St MB Church (339 Scott St). It's a joint service so all 3 of our churches will be there (maybe they're learning from us how good it is to be together). There will be no youth on Friday night because it's Good Friday and a lot of us probably have family get togethers that night.
Sunday at 6:30 am we'll be meeting at Lock 1 on the Welland Canal for our annual Sunrise Service. I know that 6:30 is pretty early, but there's something great about getting up early on Easter Sunday to watch the sunrise and think about what Christ did for us. Mark will be leading some singing, we'll read some scripture, I'll do a short devotional and then we'll head to Perkins for breakfast. It looks like there is a small chance of rain on Sunday, so if it rains then we'll just meet at Perkins at 8:00 am for breakfast...unless it's raining though, we'll be at the canal at 6:30 am. Make sure you wear warm clothes and perhaps bring a blanket along...it gets pretty cold in the morning.
All of our churches also have Easter services happening on Sunday:
Grantham MB Church at 10:45 am
Scott St MB Church at 10:30 am
Fairview MB Church at 10:30 am
See you this weekend!

NO Awesome Time this week...
Hello NEMBY!!! I hope you all had a great March break. It feels like it's been so long since I've seen all of you...and unfortunately it'll be a bit longer because we won't be having any Awesome Time/Bible Study tomorrow night. Tomorrow night is going to be the last Montreal team meeting, so if you came to Montreal with us then you need to be at Cornerstone tomorrow night at 7 pm.
The good news is that we've got youth on Friday and we'll be meeting at Grantham MB for a worship night. We'll have the chance to worship God together and the Montreal team will be sharing some of their experiences with you...things they did & learned on the trip. It'll be good.

Awesome Time!
Just a reminder that we're having Awesome Time/Bible Study tomorrow (Tuesday) night at 7 pm at Fairview MB. Since our group reflection time was cut out of the retreat, we're going to talk about what we heard in the chapel times and what we can do with it now that we're home. If you were on the retreat, but have never come to Bible study then that's okay...come out! Think about the weekend and let's be ready to talk about it tomorrow.

THE WINTER RETREAT!!!
Here's all the info you need for THE RETREAT!!!
1. We are meeting at Vineland MB Church (3970 Glendale Ave.) at 5 pm...BE ON TIME...perhaps even 5 minutes early, NOT half an hour early!
2. Tell your parents to pick you up on Sunday from the same location at 4 pm...if we'll be significantly later then we will give them a call, but we should be back around 4.
3. We will be stopping on the way to Camp Crossroads for a bathroom/supper break. If you want to have supper there then you need to bring some money along for it.
4. Although we have yet to see significant snow in the Niagara Region there is A LOT of snow up at Camp so bring your snow gear & warm clothes. If you want to play hockey then bring your skates & stick (you don't need full gear). Camp does have some skates & sticks, but likely you'll do better with your own.
5. Although we originally said that all the guys were going to be sleeping in the "bring it on" cabins, only one cabin of guys will actually have to...sorry guys. If you did not receive a separate message from me about this then that means you're in a regular cabin and can bring regular camp sleeping stuff. If you got a separate message from me then READ IT and bring what I suggested.
6. Woo hoo!!! Winter retreat!!!!

Bible Smugglers
HELP! Not everyone has access to the Word of God!
We need to bring Bibles to those people. But there are those among us that fail to see the importance and even wish to kill those that attempt this!
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to challenge the government. To go against all odds and live the life of passion for evangelism. You will smuggle Bibles to those who have ears but have not heard, to those who have eyes but have not seen, to those who have felt but have not lived.
... You will be joined by your team at 7:00pm on Friday, January 27th at SCOTT ST MB CHURCH.
This message will self-destruct in 5....4....3....2....1..............
.
.
.
.
.
Nevermind, this is an ongoing mission that will continue throughout generations. We have a mission to spread the Word everyday, but for Friday night, we'll have a bit of fun, building relationships with each other so we can go out everyday with the support of an awesome group!
Love Suz & Amy
p.s. REMEMBER YOUR RETREAT FORM & MONEY!!! TOMORROW IS THE DEADLINE!

Cheesy Christmas/Almost New Year's Party!!!
I hope your Christmas has been good so far and that you're ready for the festivity to continue because here are the details for our Cheesy Christmas Potluck on Friday. First off, WE'RE GOING TO MEET AT 6:00 PM at Fairview MB Church where we'll be having a night of classic Christmas fun. This Christmas fun may include (but should not be limited to) a potluck supper, an ugly Christmas sweater competition, a reading of a classic Christmas story, a re-gift exchange, and watching a classically horrible Christmas movie.
The things to bring are:
1. A food item to contribute to our potluck (and a huge appetite since there will be a ton of food for us to enjoy)
2. An ugly Christmas sweater (or just any festive-wear..think red & green)
3. A gift for the re-gift exchange (the emphasis being on the RE...please do not go out and buy something for this, just wrap up something you've got at home that you no longer use but think someone else might)
Here are some suggestions for the potluck, but really you can bring anything that you love to eat. Please do not just make your mom make your dish for you...at least help her out and make sure you tell her about this asap so that she doesn't find out about it on Friday and get stressed about having to make something quickly.
• Veggie platter
• Fruit platter
• Meatballs
• Pasta or potato salad
• Some sort of casserole
• Stew
• Chili
• Perogies
• Crackers & dip or cheese
• Garlic bread
• Dinner rolls
• Salad of any kind
• Dessert
• Anything that you like to eat
Once you talk to your mom or know what you're going to make then post it on here so that we don't end up with tons of doubles. Let me know if you've got any questions

Bible Study/Christmas Project
Bible study/awesome time is tonight at Fairview at 7 pm.
We've collected about $130 for our Christmas project so far and we have a lot more that we'll need to do this project well. Please keep thinking about ways that you can save money in your own life in order to help make someone else's life better. We only have about 2 weeks left before we need to buy the stuff and bring it to the deck and we need to raise at least another $300 to do this well.

Youth Worship Night
It's a bit later in the month than usual, but tomorrow night (Friday) is our November Youth Worship Night!!! We'll meet at Grantham MB Church at 7 pm. We will worship God through singing (lead by Mark and our amazing youth worship team) and sharing.
Remember that we decided to raise money to make Christmas stockings for some of the youth that go to YFC's The Deck. So far we've been passing the money frog around to collect spare change, but it's going to take a lot more than some spare change for us to put together some decent stockings. I'm not sure how many of you have jobs, or get an allowance from your parents, or have any source of income but I really want to encourage you to think about what you're spending your money on in the next few weeks and perhaps hold off on getting something from Tim's or McDonalds, or buying that game you've been waiting for, or that new album that just got released and save that money for our Christmas project instead. The more money we collect, the better we can make these stockings. Last year we collected $400 and we were able to make sweet stockings...let's try to do even better this year! If even just 30 of us are able to give $20 each that'll bring us up to $600! Do you think we can do it? I'm not sure, but let's give it a shot! So, start saving and let's do this!

Hey NEMBY!
Tomorrow night is our October worship night!! We're going to be meeting at Grantham MB at 7 pm. There is going to be a time for singing and dancing and all that fun stuff! Afterwards we'll be having a time of sharing what God's done if your life recently or just what you've been up to. Also, Thanksgiving is this weekend so maybe think about a few things you're thankful for in your life.
Love, your youth co-op student, Sam

Girl & Guy Sleepovers
Here are the details for youth this week:
We are going to be having sleepovers!!! Now, I know that the guys always think that their sleepover is way better than the girls’ sleepover, but that's the beauty of the separate girl & guy sleepovers. The girls love doing what we do at our sleepover & the guys love doing what they do at theirs. Brilliant!
GUYS
You will be meeting at 7:00 pm AT Josh's parents' house (1515 5th Street). You need to bring your sleeping stuff (it is a sleepover after all), a frisbee, some meat to grill for midnight meat, and some money for breakfast (you will meet up with the girls for breakfast on Saturday). You can let your parents know that we'll be finished between 10-10:30 on Saturday morning.
LADIES
We will be meeting at 7:00 pm AT my parents’ house (1178 Concession 6). You need to bring your sleeping stuff, $7 for go-carting (weather permitting), swimsuits (bring a dark tank top to wear over bikinis) & towels, money for breakfast (we will meet up with the guys for breakfast on Saturday). You can let your parents know that we’ll be finished between 10-10:30 on Saturday morning. Since we’ll hopefully be leaving to go go-carting, please be on time and let me know if you know you’ll be late so you can either meet us there or we know to wait for you.

Ultimate Ultimate!!!
We're going to meet at 7 pm at Grantham MB (469 Grantham Ave.) tonight. We're going to be playing Night Ultimate a.k.a. Ultimate Ultimate!!! It will include night time, glow in the dark, and ultimate and it'll be the best! These are the things you need to bring: a flashlight, running shoes, weather appropriate clothing that you can run in.
Unfortunately there is an 80% chance of rain tonight, so if it rains then we can decide if we're still going to play Utimate Ultimate (perhaps this would add another "Ultimate" to the name...) or we can play some awesome youth room games (Kings Bowl, 4 on a couch, etc.). Either way, it'll be a blast!
See you tonight!!!

A new year of youth is here!!! That means that if you are in grade 9 and have not yet started coming to youth, NOW IS YOUR TIME!!!!
We'll be meeting on Friday, at 7 pm at Fairview MB Church (455 Geneva St). It may not feel like it yet, but by the end of this year, NEMBY will kind of feel like a family, so we're going to have a "family" game night...no, that does NOT mean that your mom & dad or brothers and sisters are invited :) It means we're going to be playing family games at youth!!! Think Dutch Blitz, Jenga, Speed Scrabble, but there will be a twist! The games are going to be GINORMOUS!!!! Honestly, come out!!! It'll be a blast!

BBQ & Potluck
Youth this Friday!!! We’re going to have a BBQ & Potluck! Woo hoo! We’re going to meet at my parents’ house (1178 Concession 6, Niagara-on-the-Lake) at 7 pm. They have a pool, so bring a swimsuit & towel if you want to swim (girls, remember to bring a dark tank top to wear over bikinis). They also have a huge yard so we’ll also have Frisbees, soccer balls, bocce ball, etc. available to play & a bonfire once the sun goes down. And make sure you bring a sweater & bug spray along just in case.
Notice that it’s a POTLUCK. That means that you should NOT eat supper on Friday and everyone has to bring a food dish to share with the group. I will provide the burgers & toppings, but here’s a list of suggestions of what you can bring:
• Veggie Tray
• Fruit Tray
• Potato Salad
• Pasta Salad
• Broccoli Salad
• Green Salad
• Chips
• Watermelon
• Cup cakes
• Brownies
• Squares
• Cookies
This is just a list of suggestions, if you have a favourite BBQ dish that is not on this list then feel free to bring it. Also, please make sure that you think about this and talk to your mom about it asap and make sure you help her make whatever you’re bringing…you’re mom will be super stressed if you spring this on her on Friday, so PLEASE LEAVE WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND GO TALK TO YOUR MOM RIGHT NOW!

Final Canoe Trip Details
Here are some final reminders and packing tips for the trip tomorrow!!! I was talking to Ben (our canoe trip guide) last night and he reminded me that we can bring ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD along in our bags. I know that people usually bring snacks and whatnot, but when you’re camping in the actual wilderness (yeah, that’s right, we’re hardcore) all food needs to be safely and properly stored so that animals don’t come digging around in our tents…no joke. Please do not pack food in your bag. Even things like toothpaste and any toiletries need to be packed into a food safe container because they attract animals, so I’m actually going to bring one tube of toothpaste, some sunscreen, and bug spray that we can all use…that way we don’t have 15 of each to store in the food safe container every night. So don’t worry about packing those 3 items. This is mostly for the girls, but please do not pack body spray or perfume, makeup, hair products, even deodorant is discouraged (but if you really feel like you need it then bring it and we’ll store it). We’ll be hardcore and stinky together ☺.
On a more positive note, we’re going to be camping about 5 minutes from some awesome jumping cliffs, we’ll be able to fish, swim, and hang out ALL WEEKEND!!!
The meeting time is 7 am tomorrow morning, but please try to come at least 5 minutes before that so we can pack up and head out as quick as possible. I know it’s early, but at least you get to sleep the whole way to camp. We’ll be meeting at Fairview MB Church. And remember your permission forms & money!!! You seriously will not be allowed to come without them…no joke!
See you tomorrow!

Exams are over...almost!!!
Here's the deal for Friday. It's supposed to rain during the day and in the evening :( If this is the case then we'll have a good old movie night. It's been a while and I'm not sure about you, but I could use a good, relaxing evening. If it's not raining then we can go to the park for some ultimate/school yard games...4-square, skipping, etc.
Either way we'll meet at Fairview MB Church at 7:00 pm.

Youth Sunday Run-Through
Tonight is our Youth Sunday practice run. We're putting on a worship service for our churches. This is a great way for us to show our churches how amazing NEMBY is and what God has been doing in our group. A bunch of you have signed up for things, but I still need a few more to help out with the audio/visual crew and as ushers. Please let me know if you can help. Even if you're not signed up for anything, please plan on coming to the service on Sunday at 7pm at Scott St. We know how awesome NEMBY is, but come out to show our churches!
We'll be meeting at Scott St. MB tonight at 7 pm for the practice run. It'll be a chance for us to make sure we know what's going on...who's doing what, when. It shouldn't take too long, so maybe we can go to Port for ice cream afterward...or I suppose we could go to McDonalds.

Bible Study & Pie Auction
First of all, we've got Bible study tonight! We'll be meeting at Fairview MB at 7:00 pm. We're on chapter 5 of the book "Crazy Love" I'll have a few more books to give out, so if you want one then please bring $10 along...or if I gave you one last week. If you've already got the book then make sure to read chapter 5.
Secondly, this Sunday is our Spaghetti Dinner & Pie Auction: Grantham edition. These fundraisers are super important for NEMBY since they provide us with the funding we need to be the awesome group that we are. That being said, I need 2 things from you to make it great!
1. Please talk your parents and plan on being at Grantham MB Church this Sunday at 9:30 am to help set up and do food prep. The meal will start after church and there is a lot to do to get ready for it. Please try to come even if you don't normally attend Grantham.
2. Let me know if you're able to bake a pie for the auction. Some of the ladies from the church have offered to bake some, so we don't need quite as many as we normally do, but we still need at least 15 pies.

Easter Stuff
We'll be meeting at Fairview MB Church at 7:00 pm for some classic Easter celebrations. Easter!? What the?! Isn't Easter over already? The answer to that, my friend, is yes, but in classic NEMBY style, we waited until the holiday passed to celebrate. There will be eggs, there will be chocolate, the Easter bunny might even make an appearance. Seriously, you do not want to miss this!
See you at 7.
See you at 7.

Easter Weekend
So, this weekend is a big one...EASTER!!! It means that you guys have a crazy long weekend and that there are a ton of church things! Here's an outline of all the Easter goodness that you can come to.
1. Good Friday Service: 10:45 am on Friday at Fairview MB Church...it's going to be all 3 of churches coming together for a service...let's see if our churches can come together as well as we have.
2. Sunrise Service: 6:00 am on Sunday at the Welland Canal Lock 1. I realize that this is CRAZY EARLY and I've got kind of a love/hate relationship with the Sunrise Service because it's so early, but I'm always glad that I go because there's something amazing about seeing the sunrise and thinking about the reality of what we're celebrating on Easter morning. I know you probably don't want to come to this, but I'm really going to encourage you to do it! Mark will be leading some singing, we'll read some scripture and I'll be doing a short Easter devo. It's going to be good AND WE'RE GOING OUT FOR BREAKFAST AFTER. Bring some money along for breakfast.
Okay, I think that's it, but let me know if you've got any questions. And SERIOUSLY, COME TO THE SUNRISE SERVICE!!! Remember that you can sleep in on Friday, Saturday, and Monday, so really, what's the big deal about getting up early on Sunday?

Bible Study Tonight/Election Debates
Yo!
So tonight we will be meeting at Sabrina's house to watch the Election Debates! I know it sounds lame, but we both think its really important to know what is going on in the country and to think about what sort of issues that we can see and try to talk about different ways in which we can help resolves these issues.
i know politics are lame but it really is an important thing to think about, even if you're not old enough to vote right now, its still good to think about issues and all that jazz.
So Sabrina's address is: 169 Lake St. The debates start at 7, so if you want to come a bit earlier thats cool. There will be snacks.
Love, Colin

Youth Retreat!!!
Tomorrow is the start of our youth retreat!!! Here's the thing though, I'm not sure if you've looked at the weather forecast but we're supposed to get loads of snow tomorrow. Not really bad news, BUT if it's a snow day and they cancel the buses then we won't be able to leave tomorrow! I doubt that you've ever done this before but please pray that tomorrow is NOT a snow day.
I'm going to assume that the buses will not be canceled. If everything goes according to plan, we will be meeting at Fairview MB Church at 4:45 pm tomorrow. Please bring all your stuff along (see the list packing list below).
We will be stopping at a service centre on the way for supper, so bring some $ along for that. Let your parents know that we are hoping to be back in St. Catharines at around 4:00 pm. You'll be able to give them a call once we're back...that way they don't need to wait around if we end up being late.
What to Bring:
• Sleeping bag, pillow
• Warm clothing
• Towel, toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, etc.
• Winter boots, warm jacket, snow pants, gloves, scarf, toque
• Flashlight
• Bible, notebook, pen
If it does end up being a snow day and the buses are canceled then I'll send a message with the new information.
See you tomorrow!!!

Winter Retreat Info...
Woo hoo!!! The winter retreat is next weekend!!!
Here's a bit of info for it:
We'll be meeting at Fairview MB Church next Friday at 4:45 pm. There will be a bus waiting for us, so we'll load her up and our weekend adventure will begin! We will be making a bathroom/supper stop on the way so bring some money along for that.
The weekend will be filled with outdoor fun (sledding!), relaxing, being together, and worshiping God. Mark & I will be leading our sessions and Sam Willems will be leading the singing portion of our worship times. It is going to be a great weekend!
We will be leaving to come home again at noon on Sunday so we should be back around 4:00ish. Let you parents know that you'll call them once we're back...that way they don't need to wait around for us if we're a bit late.
If you have not signed up for the retreat and you're seeing the error of this and really want to come (which is understandable because this is going to be great) then let me know, be really nice to me and I'll think about letting you come :) Also, if you haven't gotten your form to me yet then MAKE SURE YOU BRING IT. You will not be allowed on the bus if I don't have your form (and I'm really not joking about this).
Let me know if you've got any other questions about it.

Gargon!!!
Yup, you heard me right. We're going to be playing Gargon tonight. We'll be meeting at Fairview MB at 7:00 pm and then the fun will begin. Please, please, please wear proper running shoes...bad things happen when people don't and be ready to run around and get sweaty.
Next week, we're going to be going to Waterloo for the Ontario MB Conference Youth Night. It's going to be a worship night with other youth groups from all over Ontario. There are going to be some speakers from a few different mission organizations and it's going to be good. I'm going to have a sign-up list for it tonight and I need to know how many people are coming so that I can make sure we have enough rides. We'll be leaving at 5:30 next Friday. Please talk to your parents/think about whether or not you want to come to this and be ready to sign up tonight. Oh and there is no cost for this. If you can't make it tonight but want to come then just message me and I'll add your name to the list.

Bible Study at Fairview
Just a reminder that we've got Bible study tonight. We'll be meeting at Fairview MB Church NOT at Jesslyn's house. Meet me there at 7:00 pm.
Also, if you want to come on the retreat but haven't handed in your form or money then please bring it along to Bible study or at least message me to let me know you still want to come. I made a list of people I know are coming and am going to start working on transportation, rooming lists, etc. so I NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING.
See you tonight!

Worship Night
We were originally going to be playing Gargon for youth this week, but since there will be another group at the church on Friday we're going to postpone Gargon until next week.
Instead, we're going to be having a low-key worship night. Tim will be leading some singing, I'll be talking a bit, and we'll have a time of sharing. Typically, the few sharing times we've had over the past few months have been a bit awkward and hardly anyone has actually said anything. Last week's worship night at Southridge was really good and challenged us to bring God into every part of our lives, including our schools. In our Bible study we've been talking about how to be the person God created us to be...again, living our whole lives for Him. We're going to be talking a bit more about that tomorrow, so think about it and about what God's been doing in your life in relation to these things and think about whether or not you have something to share with the group about it.
After the worship time we'll be hanging out in the youth room and perhaps playing a few youth room games...the animal game, 4 on a couch, the bowl game = awesome!
We'll be meeting at Fairview MB at 7:00 pm tomorrow.

We're going to be talking a bit more about that tomorrow, so think about it and about what God's been doing in your life in relation to these things and think about whether or not you have something to share with the group about it.
After the worship time we'll be hanging out in the youth room and perhaps playing a few youth room games...the animal game, 4 on a couch, the bowl game = awesome!
We'll be meeting at Fairview MB at 7:00 pm tomorrow.

Bible Study
Happy first day of a new semester!
Just writing to remind you that we've got Bible study tonight. 7:00 pm at Jesslyn's house.
It's not supposed to really start snowing until late tonight, but drive safely anyhow and if it looks like it's snowing really hard then stay tuned...I'll cancel it if the roads look horrible.

Hooray!!! Exams are over!!! Freedom is here...at least for a few days!!!
Here's what's happening in NEMBY this week:
1. We will be having an unofficial youth night this Friday. We'll be having a "Toy Story" movie marathon! Wear cozy clothes and bring cozy blankets. We'll be starting "Toy Story 1" at 6:00 pm and working our way through...taking breaks as needed. We'll be ordering pizza at some point so if you want pizza then bring $5 along.
2. The reason Friday night is unofficial is because our official youth event is happening on Saturday at 7:00 pm at Southridge Community Church (201 Glenridge Ave.). We'll be joining a bunch of youth groups from all over the Niagara Region for a night of worship and prayer. I'm really looking forward to it and I hope you come out and join us for it. Let me know if you need a ride.
3. Fill out your retreat form and bring it to me!!! Our winter retreat is at the end of February (25-27) and the deadline for the forms is February 4th...but early forms are definitely welcome and encouraged.
See you soon!

Exam Week Stuff
Hello NEMBY!!!
I hope all of you are surviving your exams! I'm just writing to remind you that we are NOT having Bible study tonight. Hang in there exams are almost finished!
If you're a member of Grantham MB Church then know that I'm going to be sharing a bit about NEMBY at the membership meeting tonight and the church is going to have an official vote on it. If at all possible, study ahead and come out to give support to NEMBY...I get that your in the midst of exams though. The meeting is at Grantham MB Church at 7:00 pm.
We don't have anything official planned for youth this Friday since our youth event is the joint worship night on Saturday, but if you're interested then come to Fairview MB at 6:00 pm for a Toy Story movie marathon!!! That's right, we are going to enjoy Pixar's best back to back...it'll be awesome and it'll be a test of endurance!
We'll be ordering pizza somewhere in the mix, so bring $5 along if you want some.

Change of Plans...Tobogganing!!!

We'll be meeting at Fairview MB Church at 7:00 pm and then we'll be heading to Lock 4. Wear warm clothes...snow pants, winter coat, scarf, toque, mittens, boots, etc. because we'll be outside all night...or until we're sufficiently exhausted.

Cheesy Christmas Potluck
So, here are the details for our Cheesy Christmas Potluck on Friday. First off, WE'RE GOING TO MEET AT 6:30 PM at Fairview MB Church where we'll be having a night of classic Christmas fun. This Christmas fun may include (but should not be limited to) a potluck supper, an ugly Christmas sweater competition, Christmas stories with Uncle Gary, a re-gift exchange, and watching a classicly horrible Christmas movie.
The things to bring are:
1. A food item to contribute to our potluck (and a huge appetite since there will be a ton of food for us to enjoy)
2. An ugly Christmas sweater (or just any festive-wear)
3. A gift for the re-gift exchange (the emphasis being on the RE...please do not go out and buy something for this, just wrap up something you've got at home that you no longer use)
Here are some suggestions for the potluck, but really you can bring anything that you love to eat. Please do not just make your mom make your dish for you...at least help her out and make sure you tell her about this asap so that she doesn't find out about it on Friday and get stressed about having to make something quickly.
• Veggie platter
• Fruit platter
• Meatballs
• Pasta or potato salad
• Some sort of casserole
• Stew
• Chili
• Perogies
• Soup
• Crackers & dip or cheese
• Garlic bread
• Dinner rolls
• Salad of any kind
• Dessert
• Anything that you like to eat
Let me know if you've got any questions.
