Dear Friends,

Our Pot Luck Supper will be held at the home of Ellen Farber in Oqunquit on Tuesday, January 20, 2009.

Here are the directions to Ellen's home:

20 Tern Street, Ogunquit. Take route 1 North to Ogunquit Center. Drive 1 mile north of the center. You will see Angelina's Restaurant on your left. Turn right onto Ocean Street opposite the restaurant. Go to the parking lot of the Footbridge Beach but do not go in. Make a sharp left onto Tern Street. My house is the 3rd house on the left. It is off-white with red trim and says Farber on the house. Looking forward to the pot-luck social. All are welcome. Happy New Year. Ellen
