REPLACING OLD STUFF IN THE KITCHEN

Our kitchen utensils are dated and worn out. We are planning to have a Pampered Chef catalog party to replace these old items. Catalogs will be given out at the installation dinner and orders will need to be turned in by the December stated meeting, 8 December. Outside orders are welcome and it is anticipated that all items ordered will arrive in time for Christmas! All proceeds from the party will go to refurbishing our kitchen. Our consultant will be Bob and Judy Stolar’s niece.
