I think we'll be fine. If not, I live 1 mile from several grocery stores, a Heavenly Ham, and a seafood market.
Well, let us know if you want us (as DCMM) to pitch in for something. Perhaps we could buy the hams?

I vote for saving the clubs funds for something other than paying for food that we can all afford.
I have a feeling that we can put some extra cashola towards a nice charity event or something like that, which is better since we can all afford to buy food for us to eat and some others can't

I left a note on Grumbler's car today. Maybe he'll see it and take the hint...

A note on a Mini is faster than email!

Nope, never found it. I was even in a meeting with someone yesterday who would have it but forgot to ask. Things have been a little different at work lately so I haven't had too much time recently to remember things like that.

Yes...

Katie,

Kandice and I will plan to attend with Will and Madison. We will probably have to come in M-RITA, our new Mercedes Benz R500 (Maxi) since no one can sit behind me in the MINI. Maybe Kandice can drive and I can scooch up and we will come in the MINI.

We will bring a main dish, probably a casserole or some sort.

Can you please send directions?

Mike, Google Map the above address for directions.

FYI, my driveway can hold 6-8 MINIs, if parked carefully. Those who come later or don't want to get parked in may park on Road's End. This street is only a few hundred feet from my house. It's a dead end street in a very safe neighborhood (that's not to say one shouldn't lock one's car). It's only a few steps from that street to my house.

The food list looks much better! I'll also have small nibbles, like nuts, already out.

OK Mom, I'm definitely coming now... what should your cooking-challenged son bring? (i.e. what can I buy to help?)

I'm flexible, just let me know what the greatest need is!

Katie, Im a bit worried about parking on that hill. May I request a spot in your driveway? Or do you know a flatter spot to park?

How about 5 MINIs and a Lexus so I'm right up front so everyone can give me hell?
