***Candle Class additional info
Most of our classes are on more "useable" information for self-reliant living. However, we thought one for fun might be good too. We always eat at our classes :). I always try to have something related to what we are learning about (for example: bread, herbs, cheese, yogurt, butter, etc.). Since this time we are not working with anything we can eat, we decided to have a pot luck. Just bring a small dish to share. I will provide lots of homemade bread and drinks as well as the plates, cups and utensils. If you can't bring a dish, don't worry, there will be plenty for everyone (I don't know how to do things in a small way when it comes to food).
Please contact us if you are coming as we need to make sure we have enough supplies (and food) for everyone. We will always have a little extra for the just in case, so if you don't decide until the last minute - come on anyway.
