Mark your dish with your name and phone number.  Call Sam and Aliyse and ask them what to bring.  We had just too many green bean casseroles and lime Jell-O/carrot salads last time.  Cold drinks and ‘store-sliced’ meat loaf will be provided.  Please bring your own silverware.  Plastic wear is recommended and sharp knives should be avoided for obvious reasons.  All servers are expected to wear long aprons as usual.

The theme for this meeting will be ‘Tips On How To BBQ La Naturel’ and ‘Should We Use Lime Jell-O To Treat Small Burns?’

The main discussion will be about our upcoming June campout at Drakes Ridge Rustic Nudist Retreat.  Will and Grayce have volunteered to call in our reservations.  Send them money for your reservations ASAP.  Food for thought – If they don’t receive your money by the end of the month you may have to spend your vacation with your clothes on at some state park somewhere.
