Location: Christ Church Parish Hall, 61 Dundas Street, Dartmouth.
Potluck: Please bring sweet or savoury finger foods to share with everyone.
Christmas Raffle: In support of our school, we will sell tickets for a chance to win one of two baskets with traditional German Christmas specialties. Tickets are 1 for $5 or 3 for $10 (cash only) and will be for sale starting this Thursday, Nov. 20th until our Nikolausfeier.
Book/Game Exchange: We also welcome gently used German-language books or games for our popular book/game exchange. If you take an item, a small monetary donation to the school is appreciated.
Food Bank Donations: Our gathering place, Christ Church, supports a food bank. If you would like to support the food bank, items in need are as follows: $10 grocery gift cards, canned foods, and personal hygiene items.
We are looking forward to celebrating this special time of year with you all.
