Pizza and Holiday Caroling at the Chevy Chase Library

Come in from the cold, share some holiday music and take a night off from cooking!  Join your neighbors and friends for a Holiday Caroling & Potluck Wednesday night, Dec. 21, from 6-8 p.m. at the Chevy Chase Library.  The Chevy Chase Estates Association will supply the pizza and hot drinks, and side dishes, salads or desserts are welcome to help balance our potluck.  We'll start with dinner and holiday stories, then serenade our brave firefighters next door with some holiday carols.  Finally, we'll come back to the library for dessert and crafts, or just visiting with  neighbors and friends.  All ages (and singing abilities) are welcome. For those of us with school kids in Glendale Unified, this is the last day of school before winter night, so there won't be any homework, and the kids can sleep in the next day.  So, come join the fun and stock up on those books and DVDs for Winter Break!
