Food/Volunteers, etc.

Purpose of this page:  To summarize what people have offered to bring/do, as well as what is still needed, encourage participation, and foster coordination (and be very useful at Costco the day before the picnic...).

To make offers or ask questions, please (Contact Us) (quickest way: send an email to 60Party2014@comcast.net). 

Bring/volunteer for whatever you like.   A batch of your "specialty" would be nice as a "plate to pass" to add flavor to the proceedings. Whatever you decide would be appropriate, Please let us know ASAP, so we can see what is lacking, update the list, check with people who made general offers to help, etc.  (Note: some of the items/ideas listed below will not be provided if no one brings them, i.e, brats/hot dogs, ice cream, etc.)

Beer and wine are permitted by the Park (hard liquor is NOT permitted).  Please drink responsibly, carpool as much as possible, etc.

(If you are coming in from out of state, you should have a "distance exemption" for bringing anything, but you can of course feel free to bring whatever you like; just THANKS for making the trip!
