The Humanist Community in Silicon Valley will celebrate our umpteenth Holiday Potluck. The theme will be ‘HumanLight’, a secular holiday celebrated since 2001 by secular folk. Ever since hominids figured out at the Solstice that the sun ceases to withdraw its light and warmth from the earth and every day is brighter, its return and promise of better days has been celebrated. This is a Holiday Potluck at the usual time and place of the Sunday Forums. Come early to help decorate.
Everyone is encouraged to share pleasant memories or elements meaningful to them from their own traditions or those of “The Old Country”.
There will be a Raffle, a Silent Auction of Hand Knitted Sweaters, an Early Buffet Potluck Lunch with music afterward for those who care to stay. There will be a piano for Classical Pieces and to accompany Carol Singing. Song Books are available with Solstice Carols.
Bring your memories, items from your traditions, and a festive potluck dish if possible.
Drinks and pizza will be provided.
Please contact Sena Havasy at senahav@gmail.com, Arthur Jackson, Chris Lindstrom or Sandy Smith with ideas, suggestions, encouragement, etc. You may also call the office for information at 650-964-7576.
Please bring an item or memory from your past holidays to share with the others present.
