Please place the desserts in disposable containers with any needed disposable serving utensils. They are not required to be individually wrapped this year, but based on feedback from the last two years, it is helpful if they are.

You can drop off your donations at the Coleman Front Office the morning of the event, Friday, December 2nd, but no later than 10AM. Please click on the following link to sign up to bring a treat!
