Dinners:   October 27,   December 22 & 29,  January 26, February 23, March 30

For Breakfast:  all Tuesdays need to be covered but we have people standing in the wings for breakfasts so we are not asking for 26 breakfasts

If your circle can help out with this or if a couple of circles want to go together, contact Janice.
