Social committee would like some help from some volunteers to help coordinate food pickup, set up and break down. Also, if you have a Portable BBQ & Table that you would be willing to bring, that would be great. Ideally, we can get these things coordinated by mid day on the Friday before the event so that everything runs as smooth as possible on Saturday.
