Save The Date: Ice Cream Social on October 21

Please join us for a night of ice cream, activities, raffles and fun! The event will be Thursday, October 21 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

Please try to adhere to your time slot, if possible. The event will be indoors, with outside tables if the weather permits. Families should sit together, social-distance and wear masks when not eating.

The ice cream this year will be from Culver's! We will have vanilla, chocolate and lemon ice (nut free/dairy free option). We encourage you to pre-order your ice cream on your Membership Toolkit account for $3.50 each item. Ice cream will be available for purchase at the event for $4 per item. We will also have exciting raffle prizes! You will be able to buy raffle tickets on your MTK account or at the event.
