Who's up for a cook out?
At the upcoming member meeting, July 1st, your friendly Virginia Beach Photography Club board will be grilling out for you. We're working hard to pull it off, and we hope you will join us in our efforts to make this a fun and successful event for our membership and guests. Heck, bring your family along, too. Don't forget; if you plan to enter the competition (yes, we'll still have it), you'll want to arrive before 7 p.m. to enter.
Franks, franks, and more good franks . . .
On the grill that evening will be some delicious franks (and any other meat members want to bring to grill). In addition to franks, the club will be supplying the drinks, plates, napkins, & utensils.
Now for the potluck part of the event. Please plan to join in this atmosphere of sharing by bringing a side dish, as Susan says, "good old picnic food - enough to share." Here are some suggestions on perfect items to bring (If you're not up for cooking, feel free to pick it up at your local grocery store deli):
- potato and/or macaroni/pasta salad
- coleslaw
- other cold salad
- warm veggie casseroles or pasta dishes
- watermelon, fresh fruit tray or salad
- relish tray (olives, pickles)
- veggie platter with or without dip
- Chips, nachos and cheese or salsa, pretzels (enough to share)
- Dessert
IMPORTANT: The kitchen and kitchen utensils are not available to us. If your contribution to the cook out needs to be kept hot or cold, please if possible, provide means to keep it that way. Crock pots and thermal containers work well. As we won't have them to use, don't forget the serving utensil required to dish it out.
I've started a thread in the forum where you can reply with what you plan to bring and see what others are bringing. Thank you for helping us make this an enjoyable evening for everyone.
