In addition to the sign-up for the potluck, please remember to respond to the Pingg Invite you will receive! We need to know how many guests will be attending with you to assure that we have enough seating for everyone.

If you have Swedish Folk Dress or National Costume, please wear it. It makes the day even more Swedish and festive!

Each year we have memorabilia display tables available to showcase member’s family photos, scrapbooks, genealogy research, and family memorabilia. Please share your family photos, scrapbooks, genealogy and mementos with all of us!

As in the past, this is a potluck event. Typical Swedish Julbord dishes are listed on the attached sign-up sheet. If you have not signed up at one of our meetings, please RSVP to Susan Warrington, 303/505-5323 or email Warrington.Susan@gmail.com.

If you would like to help with setup or cleanup, please indicate your willingness to help on the signup sheet.

We will look forward to seeing everyone on the second Saturday of December (the 14^th) at Bethany Lutheran Church at 9:30!
