RSVP here on the DCMM calendar

I can't call this my third annual, since we doubled up and I had two last year. Another cookout for all my DCMM friends. I also always want to extend a invitation to any new members, this is a great opportunity to meet the gang!

No rain date needed as I've got a nice covered porch and rec room so we need not fear the weather or worries about the temps. Plenty of room to spread out.

I'll be doing burgers, dogs, and brats on the grill and I will also provide the rolls, condiments, ice, plates & cups. I'll ask folks to sign up to bring a side dish, sodas, and such. Feel free to tell me you'd like to bring something else, I'm just trying to be sure we cover the basics, or don't have only meat and cake. We've run heavy on desserts the first two of these and a lot of things were unfortunately barely touched becuase of the number of desserts.

Please RSVP on the NAM calendar...Make sure you RSVP so I can get a head count so we all know how much to bring!

Let me know what you want to bring here in the thread. Back in July last year we had about 28 people and the last left around 11pm!

Here's a list of suggested food items to 'sign up for'. I'll split these up a bit with multiple people for things that are typically eaten the most. If the RSVP list grows we can and will add a additional person for a item too.

Sodas (canned): As long as people like to stay at these cookouts, a large amount of soda has been needed! I'll also have Ice Tea. Suggest 4 - 10 packs each volunteer. Get em on sale 2 for $5 and outlay would be $10. About what a side dish person would spend I think. Last time Regular Coke as most popular, followed by Sunkist Orange! and Diet Caffeine free Coke.

Burgers, Brats, Dogs, Rolls and condiments for all = Mark

Hot damn!! Cookout @ Mark's!!

I'll bring Potato Salad #1

 

Put us down as a maybe. Need to speak to the Significant other.

I havent made MINI cookies in a while

 

If I don' have to go to Pittsburgh, I'll be there. I'll RSVP for now.
I could make Cowboy Caviar again...folks seemed to like that...

 

I'm in for chips and dip.

 

...and I promise no vendors in the driveway or parked on the street in front of the house.

 

Weeee..... Near Mt. Vernon. I will take GW Pky there. Love the road.

Count us in with dessert cake.

 

Eric and I are in! We'll bring a corn casserole (not on your list, but always a hit!). Can't wait...it sounds like a lot of fun!
Christine

 

p.s. Why don't you ask people to bring bottled soda instead since you are already providing ice and cups? It seems easier and cheaper (just a suggestion).

 

This is on the calendar already, so don't forget to RSVP...

Now I jsut have to make sure I am not working that day!!!

 

Elizabeth says she will bring some of her (in)famous cheese biscuit thingies -- I guess they fall under the munchies category -- Tom

 

i could probably/maybe be there with some coke and bottled waters.

 

Sorry can't make it... We will @ MINI UNITED that day.

 

Mark, we would love to be there that night, but will be at Mid-Ohio for the
Grand-Am weekend. I sure hope to make next summer. Thanks for the
invite.

 

We will be bringing baked beans. We're looking forward to meeting and getting to know more people!

 

I'll try to be there; will rsvp soon.

 

I will be tired (have to work the night before) so 1) we may be a little bit late, let me sleep a bit longer than 4 hours, and 2) I will make my taco salad that I made for the christmas party...it didn't come home with me, so I guess you all liked it!

 

You are so lucky!

Have fun! One of these years I plan to attend one of them.

 

Hey All, lookin' forward to my first cookout Mark! I will be bringing an Indulgent trail mix kind of snack; this stuff is freakin' addictive and I'm sure it will be a big hit. So I guess it could count as a pre-cookout hors d'vours or a post meal lite dessert (it's got white chocolate, chocolate, & peanut butter morsels, almonds, cashews, golden raisens, cranberries). It's the best - I'm not a cranberry fan by any means and I think I've sold about 10 people on this stuff at work; robbed a couple of desk drawers to grab a snack! It's addictive! So that'll be my contribution. :0)

 

Since I had to cancel my MINI United reservations & stay for work, I might as well make it to this MINI-related event!

Sign me up for some Dessert Pie.

What kind does everyone NOT want?

 

FYI, We'll have my DVD of some Dragon runs with the spectacular top of the roll bar camera mount. You've never seen in car footage of a MINI on the Dragon from this perspective!

Also, I've got a High Definition DVD of the Italian Job! Ooh, Aah, HD!

 

Nice.... :-D

 

Can't say yay or nay yet due to the fact we are expecting around that time frame.

 

Mark, I have hot dogs, cheese brats, and buns. They're left over from the Dragon wrap up (few showed up and I had bought tons of food). All frozen and safe in my freezer. let me know if you want them...

 

We won't be able to make it, we'll be outta town. Have fun everyone!!
