In preparation for the party, we need to know how many folks are coming so we can plan on buying the burgers, dogs, soda - which is provided by the Regiment. Anita is requesting that folks bring a dessert or a salad to contribute to the "groaning board". The Regiment will also be picking up wine and beer, but we are looking for contributions for beer and wine as well.
