Alexis Harte will provide the entertainment at the COG on December 13!

Tis the season
To be freezin’
But wait,
Not so in Berkeley.
Instead we’re cool
Checking out the fish pool
Watching aquaculture
Fish swim perkily.
Come for the cheer
From far or near
As we celebrate
Holidays galore
With food and art
Music with Harte
And Sweet desserts
Who could ask for more?
(poem by David Skolnick)
