The Phoenix chapter is providing the meat. You are invited to contribute a
side dish that is either homemade or store bought. We are also looking for
contributions of supplies, condiments, and individually packaged desserts.
Scroll down to find a list of suggested items. Contact the food coordinator
by Monday, September 26 to firm up your contribution and to allow for us to
plan a nice variety of side dishes. Please include allergy information with
your planned contribution. This will help our friends with allergies attend
without hesitation. 

*	Volunteer your time and energy for any of the following:

*	Food Handlers: to avoid extra exposure to COVID, we are assigning a
few people to prepare each plate as you make your selection from the buffet
of options. This will reduce the transfer of germs spread by shared
utensils.
*	Serve as a talking sign on the walking path. 
*	Help with party set-up and or clean-up.

cash to help off-set the cost of food and fun by bringing a monetary
