<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>The site has folding tables and chairs for 60 people
inside and picnic tables to seat 40 outside. Perhaps this will be enough tables
and chairs. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Walt will pick up the key (very important!). I have some
small signs for pointing out the location and identifying the stations. I will
bring a gas can with gas for the generators and free coffee from caribou with
some baked goods for Saturday am. I will arrive about 10:30 am, Dave too. I
picked up charcoal and lighter fluid, Walt is bringing salad, fruit, veggies,
chips, and soda. I will run to Sam's Club for the meats and Josh is bringing the
buns and condiments. </FONT></DIV>
