"A Better Holiday" Party Wishlist

December is here and our “A Better Holiday” Party is this Saturday, 12/06, at 8:00pm! We’ve got the studio decorated, the lights lit, holiday music playing, our ugly sweater shopping complete and the beer well stocked. Now it is your turn, we are hosting the party, but need each of you to help us make this “a better holiday” for the children and families of Martha’s Table. We ask that everyone attending the party please try and bring one item from the Martha’s Table Wish List.
