All Plano ASG members are encouraged to bring a brown bag filled with items from the list below to the High Tea at 1:30 p.m. on February 21 . We will blindly exchange these bags at that time, then in August we all get together to share our creations. You are challenged to do something wonderful with the contents. Anything goes – think outside the box!!! If you want to enter the challenge but can’t make the tea we will arrange to make a bag exchange available to you at another date.
