THANKSGIVING IN SPRING
May 17, 2009 (Sunday), 4:00pm

by invite only

How about a Thanksgiving dinner in spring
at Rob-n-Amy’s? .There’ll be 12 of us.

TIME
4:00 sharp.
Please bring food warm
so we can eat right away when ya’all arrive.
Otherwise, we’d have to warm
everything up, and that might get chaotic.
Would love to do the polite thing
with a social hour beforehand,
but it’d be too hard to warm everything up.
So come hungry. .No, come STARVED!
We'll eat right away.

PLACE
Rob & Amy’s yard in North Raleigh
(Falls of Neuse & 540).
I’ll have tables set up on the grass.

I think all of you know where we live,
but just in case, map & directions are below.

BRING
Sign up for 1 of the following:

.....TURKEY –Rob & Amy
.....GRAVY (tons of) –xxx
.....STUFFING –Mathew C.
.....MASHED POTATOES –Larry O.
.....SWEET POTATOES –Suzanne/Geoff

.....6 PLATES, FORKS, SPOONS, KNIVES, GLASSES –Amy
.....6 PLATES, FORKS, SPOONS, KNIVES, GLASSES –Paula
.....WINE –Dwen

One person, one item. .One couple, two items.

Please bring your own bowl and serving spoon.
Try to serve food in a pretty dish if you have one.
Please bring enough for 12.

I will keep updating this list
when folks respond by signing up for something.
Once someone picks “corn”, for example,
no one else can pick corn.

RSVP
You MUST RSVP. .The sooner the better.
If you wait too long to RSVP, your spot may be filled
(and you won’t get to pick which food you want to bring!).
I had to invite more than 12 people,
because of course not everyone can make it.

RAIN?
If it rains, the event is cancelled.
We could try it next weekend,
but that's Memorial weekend.
Whatdaya' think?

No kids please.
