Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Please give any cards you have to Jan. Will
read: "Thank you for your service to our country; Friends from the EUP of MI"

Blue Moon falls on New Years Eve, so we will be having ritual at 8:00, followed

I do not want the entire group seeing these photos.Because some may recognize
me.

Enjoy babe :)

Cindy sent around a notice about sending Christmas cards to the soldiers at Walter Reed Army Hospital.

Please THINK ABOUT what you want us to write in the cards:

"We appreciate your service...?"

ALSO - please bring any unused cards to the next meeting.

If you are not able to attend the meeting, but still want to take a part, PLEASE let me know before Saturday.

Thanks,

After our WinterNight ritual, where it seemed that our tongues had swollen and
no one could talk right, it was decided that we should do something special for
Braggi at Yule.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Just a reminder about Sunday's schedule

Sunday, November 1 2:00 - WinterNights/Samhain
Dinner
Full Moon ritual
Ice cream cake

Things to bring:
- food to share
- WARM CLOTHES (weather man is saying rain - but we know he is full of it - or
at least we hope he is)

We never set an actual time. It was felt that due to gas prices and the
fact that the full moon is the day after our ritual, we would have them
both the same day.

WinterNights ritual starts at 2:00. So dinner should be about 3:00.

Jan
