December 14th at 11am

Come celebrate the Yuletide season and Jane Austen's 249th birthday!
Once again Kathi Stafford is hosting at her lovely home, and we can talk all things British and Regency Era-related while we enjoy the dulcet strains of live music and enthusiastic sheep in the pasture outside!

Renee Gainer will present on a topic TBD, and you are welcome to bring a dish and/or guest--and feel free to get your best Regency attire out of the mothballs!

 

RSVP is required for this event as space is extremely limited,
so please send us a message or email us at jasna.alabama@gmail.com
If you choose to not bring a Regency-inspired dish, please bring $20 to cover the cost of the vast array of food and drinks. We look forward to seeing you!
