May the Fourth be with you

Let’s celebrate all things Star Wars! Wear your favorite Star Wars Universe costume and bake (or buy) your favorite cookies to share--with a Star Wars twist if you like--as we watch Return of the Jedi (1983, PG, 2h11m).

Drinks will be provided.
Saturday, May 3 @ 2 p.m.

All ages, drop in.

Let your creativity bloom!

Grab one of the last spots for the May 5 Pinterest Party to make a pretty spring picture frame--or plan ahead and sign up now for the June 2 event and bring your family or friends to make some colorful pipe-cleaner flowers.

Registration is required and space is limited.
