UU Kitchen Cleanup Saturday, November 16th, 1-3pm
Join the RE Team and others as we help turn back the clock on the UU kitchen! We all appreciate the treats and coffee that come from the kitchen each Sunday, so let’s show our love by helping tidy, deep clean, and reorganize this much loved space. For this event, let’s throw out the phrase “too many cooks in the kitchen” in favor of “many hands make light work”! We’ll provide the guidance and supplies necessary for the task at hand so you can just come for community, camaraderie, and cleaning.
All ages welcome! Bring the whole family and a willingness to pitch in. When all the work is done, be sure to stick around for the cookie decorating party starting at 3pm!
