It takes a lot to feed Polar Bear families! Don't forget to LABEL your crock pots, utensils, serving bowls and trays so we can get those back to you.

Please check in with Jessica Willemsen on Friday to get your job credits if you are working a setup, serving, or cleanup shift.

Sign-ups are now OPEN; RSVPs are due by Tuesday night for planning purposes. If you're planning to come, please do sign up to contribute food or a job shift.

The event starts on Friday at 5:30pm. and ends by 7:30pm. Plan to bring your own chairs and get comfy picnic-style around the deck. We will feed swimmers first, then adults. There is NO SWIMMING!
