Holiday Cookie Swap Party!

The Holidays are Fast Approaching!

To celebrate the spirit of the season, our group will be having a Christmas Cookie Exchange. Please bake some kind of holiday treat- cookies, cake, pie, candy, bread- and bring your recipe to share with the other UVA Med Wives, Fiancees, and Girlfriends at the party. We will swap treats and recipes with eachother at the party. This way, we can all go home with a plate full of treats and new recipes for future holiday baking. I'm sure our med school significant others will be happy to have some extra treats around the house!

If you don't have a recipe, ask your mother or grandmother for one. It doesn't need to be anything fancy or gourmet! If you aren't able to bake anything, you are still welcome at the holiday party.

The event will be held on Tuesday, December 11th, at 7:30pm.

619 D Madison Ave. (Ashtree Apartments) Parking is available on the street or at the Madhouse lot across the street. If you need directions, please contact Heather Baldwin (2nd year fiancee) at baldwinhc@yahoo.com.

If you plan on attending, please email Heather or comment on this post.
