An Advent by Candlelight hostess reserves a table, invites 5-7 of her closest female friends, brings a treat for the dessert buffet and decorates her table. Her guests can help by baking a treat instead! Don’t want to be a hostess but would love to join us? Register as an individual and you'll have a spot at Katie's table. This event is free, but your RSVP is required. Register today by contacting Katie Shannon (lpmkatie@gmail.com or 262-794-2570). Hurry! Space is limited and this event always fills up fast!
