1.  Your own dinner service (plates/forks);

     If your last name starts with F-O, please bring a loaf of garlic or other bread/rolls;

     If your last name starts with P-Z, please bring 2 bottles (2 liter) of pop or lemonade.

If you were already "volunteered" to bring dessert, noodles or sause you do NOT have to also supply #2 above (and Thanks!).
