our 2023 cycle of Circle Suppers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">We typically don’t have a December Circle Supper to avoid holiday
overload in the Thanksgiving-to-Christmas period. So, I am taking advantage of this lull to
begin developing the host schedule for 2024.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">A central characteristic of our FUUSM Family
is the sense of community that we have.
And Circle Suppers have been an important vehicle for building that
community. So please, consider hosting a
Circle Supper.</p>

Circle Supper.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> * Where ... Besides your home, consider the option of the FUUSM Social
Hall. The latter has the space, parking,
and facilities. We have had several Circle Suppers there, and it works very well.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> * Teaming up. We really recommend this approach, no matter
where you plan to hold it. Teaming up
with others helps to spread out the workload, both on the preparation before
and the cleaning up after. Plus, like a lot
of things, it is just more fun to do work with others.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Please check your calendars and see if you would be
available to host a Circle Supper next year.
These will typically be on the 2<sup>nd</sup> Saturday of the month, but
the dates can be adjusted as needed to avoid scheduling conflicts. So, for 2024, the Circle Supper planning
dates are …</p>
