2010 from 2 to 6 pm at his QTH. Directions to his home can be found at

<grin>.

As for bringing things along, those attending are encouraged
to consider bringing a side dish. Please communicate with the Special
Events Coordinator as we get closer to the date of the event to avoid

you come into the patio. Your toonies, loonies and gov't issued colored
small numbered paper will be used to defray the cost of the event ...
any surplus will be deposited into general revenue and any deficit will
