• CRMS Community Dream Dinners private party for Saturday, May 17 from 10am-Noon. This is a great way to get together as a community and make delicious, freezeable meals more convenient for your family dinners. As an added bonus, because of your participation, we automatically raise money for CRMS. Typically Dream Dinners limits their session to 12 people, but since we're booking as a private party, we're able to have about 15 families, to allow for a GREAT social event, too!

Some things to keep in mind about the event:

• Location will be in Issaquah on Gilman Blvd.
• Open to friends and families of CRMS and would include responsible
  & helpful 3rd graders or older to assist as long as family members supervised them.
• Signing up for the session requires purchasing 36 servings (about $120) minimum per family that attends.
• CRMS receives a donation of $10 for any family who buys less than 72 servings, and $20 for 72 + servings.
• For more info about Dream Dinners, check out: www.dreamdinners.com or for any questions (like previewing menu before deciding), email Stephanie B.
• Please RSVP to Stephanie B. before Wednesday, May 7th and I'll send you registration details.
• If you're UNABLE to attend May 17th but would still like to make delicious, freezable meals AND benefit CRMS, you have another option. You can sign up for any Dream Dinner session (Issaquah location) between May 17-June 17 and mention "Cedar River fundraiser" in the Special Instructions box during checkout at www.dreamdinners.com.
