While you were mark making...

...a few words from Signe

If you're like me, it never hurts to be reminded of important activities and dates. We are providing you with this supplement that you can print out and put on your fridge. You are going to be very busy!

"Pastelist" moves to the new schedule October 1, 2025, with Sarah Leslie at the helm. Her contact information is provided below with the schedule for copy and photos.

Can't wait to see everyone at Vaqueros Cafe!
