Meeting ID: 960 5246 5552

Please bring a snack to share for Coffee Hour. Because we didn't
have Coffee Hour last week, any leftovers in the fridge (think fruit,
veggies, sandwiches, salads) are at least two weeks old. (Ew.) Fresh fruit,
veggies, and homemade contributions are encouraged and appreciated. Please
help make FUUSM more welcoming and coffee hour more enjoyable by bringing
something tasty to share.
