It’s time again for our annual BCI Holiday Potluck! Get out your favorite recipes and join us !
Once again the charity we are going to support is Families Forward, a nonprofit organization committed to helping local Orange County families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.  We are asking attendees at our holiday party to bring gift cards, toys or other items for needy families.  Here is a link with information about this charity:  families-forward.org
Here is a link with a list of suggested items to donate.  They especially need items for teens.  https://tinyurl.com/ycw7uq6u

Thank you in advance for your generosity.  We look forward to seeing you at the holiday party!

Please RSVP your attendance.  Email potluck@bikeirvine.org with guests' names, and what you are bringing to share. Potlucks work best if you bring as much as you can eat, but in a shareable format ( ie: small bites, spoon a taste ) If you bring too much there will be too much left over!
