Gardeners Christmas party

Gardeners of Cheney, it is party time. Highlights of the Dec. 9 meeting include bringing a finger-food snack and donating an unwrapped gift item for a resident of the Cheney Care Center.

Also, if you bring a wrapped gift worth no more than $10, you can participate in the “Gift Exchange Game” – in which you can pick a wrapped gift or “steal” one already unwrapped by someone else. Bringing gifts is optional, but don’t miss the party.
