December Holiday Brunch & Guild Challenge Reveal

Current and past SVH members are invited to meet at MJ Levine's home in Chattanooga on Saturday, December 14th, at 10 a.m. for a Holiday Celebration and Guild Challenge Reveal.

MJ will supply the drinks; everyone else should bring a brunch-type dish to share.

Please remember to bring your 2019 Guild Challenge Pillow in a NON "see-thru" bag or container.  Those with Guild Challenge items should plan to arrive 10 minutes early so Sandi has time to get them displayed properly.  There will be prizes!

Thank you, MJ for opening your home to us!

(Current SVH members will be receiving an email with written directions to MJ's home.  If you are NOT a current member and want to attend, please call 423.284.8209.)
