As a group we met January 6, 2014 to create the yearly schedule. This years schedule includes some old favorites and new twists! It should be a lot of fun.
This year we decided to do something a bit different for our challenges. We chose 9 different themes and scattered them throughout the year. Each member is responsible to create a minimum of three challenges through the year. In January 2015 we will tally participation.... a fee of 10.00 for each of the challenges not completed.
Each month includes the challenge theme, member providing snack, the skill and who is sharing for the evening. Please remember you only need to participate in three of the listed challenges.
