  • 2025 SHoWLE Winter Solstice Soiree

    2025 SHoWLE Winter Solstice Soiree

    December 20, 2025  5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
    First Unitarian Church of Toledo, 3205 Glendale Ave., Toledo, Ohio, 43614, United States

    Our 2nd Winter Solstice Soiree is fast approach­ing. We hope you have plans to attend. The evening starts at 5 PM with a social then din­ner at about 5:30 PM. Our keynote speak­er Dr. Celia Williamson will speak at 6:30 PM and then we will fin­ish with a social time after the talk, wrap­ping up by 8 PM. Dr. Williamson did waive her usu­al speak­ing fee but we are “pass­ing the hat” to donate some mon­ey to her as a thank you from our com­mu­ni­ty. https://humanistswle.org/donations/passing-the-hat

    Dinner will be potluck style so add your name and the dish or two you wish to share to our potluck form. This is to min­i­mize dupli­ca­tion. We expect 15 to 25 peo­ple to attend but feel free to cook as much or as lit­tle as you feel. SHoWLE will be pro­vid­ing the entree which will include Lasagna, a pot roast, and a veg­e­tar­i­an choice. We will also pro­vide cof­fee, tea, soda pop, and water. Feel free to bring your own adult bev­er­age if you like. We will also have plates, nap­kins, and cut­lery.

    We will also have some oppor­tu­ni­ties to sup­port SHoWLE. We will accept cash “tip” dona­tions and we will be hav­ing sev­er­al items to bid on through a silent auc­tion. This includes some SHoWLE brand­ed mugs with hot choco­late and a mug rug. We will have four gift cards to bid on. And we are work­ing on a gift bas­ket as a prize.

    This event is free to attend. You aren’t required to bring a dish to share but we would still like an RSVP. Just let us know you are attend­ing so we can make sure we have a seat for you.
