Description: We will gather in Portland for socializing, food, and baskets! Bring your favorite dish to share with serving utensils. CBBG will provide beverages. If you can help us with bringing beverages, please email us.

Please arrive early (5:15-6 pm) and help with setting up tables and chairs, organizing the raffle tables, and distributing raffle tickets. Note the offical 6 pm starting time!

Basket Raffle: Members are invited to donate any basket to the raffle. All those coming to the party will get one free raffle ticket. Those donating baskets will receive an additional four tickets for each basket they bring. Additional raffle tickets will be for sale at $1 each. For this raffle, items do not need to be your own creation. Any and all baskets are welcome.

Gift Exchange (optional): Bring a basket or basketry related item (tools, materials, book, calendar, whatever) in a plain brown grocery bag for the exchange. Add a card inside the bag so the recipient knows whom to thank for the special treasure. Staple the bag closed so there can be no peeking!

Treasure Table and Library: The CBBG library will be available as well as our Treasure Table full of donated and discarded items that many are sure to find fun and useful. Come early to peruse!
