“Follow the Light” Koinonia Church
1063 Hoquiam Ave. NE Renton WA. 98059-4315
phone: (425)430.8858
Directions:
Follow the signs for Renton technical college
From 405 its the # 4 exit
go past the Renton tech school
go past the QFC
It’s the next left on Hoquiam street. (There will be a sign pointing to Hazen High School)
Drive way is next to the tennis courts. from noon until sundown.
What we need now is to start signing up people to bring specific items. We
are currently in need of the following:
Cooking Devices –
*) Grills (gas or charcoal… whatever)
*) Cooking utencils
Tables (Folding or otherwise)
Chairs (Folding or otherwise) (It might be sufficient for everyone to
bring one more than they need)
Food
*) Chips
*) Salsa, guacamole
*) Burgers (meat and/or veggie)
*) Chicken
*) Hotdogs
*) Shishkabob(sp?)
*) $foo salad
*) $bar casserole
*) Deserts
*) ???
Drinks
*) Soda
*) Beer (I’m pretty sure this is ok)
Music???
Games
*) Croquet
*) Badminton
*) Volleyball
*) Touch football
*) Jumping Jacks
*) ???
The guideline I would advise is to pick an item and register it with me sowe can prevent too much overlap. As for quantity, try to bring sufficient amount for $number/2 people.
There’s no obligation to bring anything, moochers are welcome too ;-p
Regardless of wether you are bringing anything or not, please RSVP so I
can keep a semi accurate count of what $number will be.
Feel free to point out anything I may have missed. Contact me chuckw@quantumlinux.comor Bill Wright directly bill@blug.organd we’ll keep you all updated. Also, if you think any other LUGs should be involved, please mail me chuckw@quantumlinux.com a contact address.
