So we will try to be there by 3:30-4:00 and start getting ready.  What doesn't get done will have to be finished in the morning.

See change of time to 3:330 If possible out by 5-ish.  Does that still work for you?

The club was going to purchase donuts, etc. so that members would be in a better position to donate to the Foodbank.  If you want to substitute canned goods or cash for the foodbank that would be awesome.  Of course, if you want make a donation plus bring the pastry, that would also be welcome.  Coordinate with Wendy, I think she is buying the donuts.

Looks like our clean up crew is a little thin, but our early morning crew is solid.  Jonathon and I are going to sleep in  and stick around to break down and clean up, dinner @ Gramma's is not until 3pm

So I just re-read the setup time and there is no way that we can make it there before 5 so....Not sure its worth having us come.  We will be there early Thanksgiving morning though.  I'm sorry.  I should have read that closer.

I know I'm a lot late ... but I am shooting to be there at 10 tomorrow depending on the condition of the wife ... we are having family dinner here tomorrow and with the passing of her brother I dont want her to be overwhelmed with trying to prepare dinner for everyone .
