GENERAL EXPECTATIONS:

--- B.Y.O.E. = Bring Your Own Everything. 

--- I may be BBQ'ing and you are welcome to any extras we may have.  Call me if you want to collaborate to make it a "pot-luck BBQ".  I'll be happy to grill your meat/vegetables.

--- Feel free to bring anyone else or invite anyone else to join us.

--- Feel free to arrive early or stay later.  We will try to arrive by 12noon or earlier because there is so much to do and I need time to cook on the grill.
