Come to Tooterfest 2006 *hop hop hop*

Mark your calenders....Dan and I (that's my DH, by the way) are going to have a BIG blow out May 28th (Memorial Day Weekend), 2006. This is a family affair, so NO alcohol...but Dan and I are renting a pavilion at a local park here and will be serving Grilled Chicken (breasts and thighs - boneless) and hotdogs. We will provide bottled water - if you want any other beverages, please feel free to bring it. We're asking that each family bring at least one dish - hot or cold or paper products. Please let us know what you'll be bringing so we can coordinate and not end up with 100 salads and no paper plates - or tons of paper plates and no plastic forks Why am I telling you SO early? Because we hope a LOT of out of town folks (not just our Washington State friends) can attend. This is NOT an OH sponsored event. There will be NO vendors, NO T-shirts created or sold...nobody is profiting from this in any way, shape, or form (unless you count the dude we buy the chicken from ). This is for FUN, FRIENDSHIP, AND FAMILY. This is for preop, postop, nonop, etc. Some of my friends are vendors - and while they are welcome to attend Tooterfest 2006 , they are not welcome to peddle any wares. I want everyone to feel welcome to come and have fun without worrying about any of that. We are not collecting any funds or monetary contributions for this. I will post this every few weeks throughout the next 10 months and hopefully a lot of you can attend! I am a party fanatic. I LOVE to throw big parties...so odds are there will be games, prizes and a fun for all. Anyone who wants to help - please send me an email at [email protected] and put PICNIC in the subject line so I KNOW to read it There are so many of you I've gotten to know over the years and I'd love to meet you all! I hope many MANY of you can come! We will start a head-count on who's coming after the first of the year. For right now...just think on it and save your pennies (((HUGS))), Toots
