Celebrate the holidays with your Alpha Xi sisters!  Our hostess is Marsha and co-hostess Jean.  We have three things going that night:  Gifts for Northwestern Settlement House family, Our own $10 gift exchange–holiday or winter theme, and a Cookie Exchange.                                                                                                                                                            For those who took a name and are bringing a gift for our Northwestern Settlement House family, the gifts are due on the meeting date, Dec. 10. For those who signed up for the cookie exchange, bring the cookies as directed by Suzanne.  Everyone is welcome to participate in our often wild $10 gift exchange!
