- Place: University Ave steps or (in case of bad weather) 2120 CH
- Abstract: Let’s celebrate the start of a new year with a cookie potluck! Bakers should bring a batch of their best to share! If you’re not a baker or don’t have time, just come hang out with us for a bit to have a cookie or two (we always have plenty!). For the bakers, it’d be helpful if you can mark your goodies with an allergens list (especially helpful to mark nuts/no nuts, dairy-free, gluten-free, etc.). If the weather’s nice, let’s gather outside on the front steps (overlooking University Ave). If it’s not so nice, watch for an email with an alternate location.
