Bring a treasured item, old or new, and share your stories. This is an opportunity to talk about something you’re passionate about or interested in!

Bring your latest present, an old heirloom, a thrift shop find – if it has a good story, we want to hear about it!

Each participant will have a few minutes to talk. If you would rather sit back and watch, that’s fine too.
