Theme

The theme for 2021 Junior Week is "Sailing through the Decades".  We'll be celebrating the decades through food, games and activities.   Everyone is encouraged to get in the spirit and welcome to bring their favorite decade-themed attire or accessories.  

Some ideas:

20's night:  Grab your fedoras and headbands
50's night:  It's a beach party -- polka dots anyone?
70s night:  This decade was all about bell bottoms and wide lapels.  
80s night:  Never too much neon!

. . . and let's not forget the 60s, the 90s, and 00s.   Time to raid parent and grandparent closets!
