ATTENTION TO ALL OUR NEWCOMERS SCAMS ABOUND:  If you receive an email from "a Newcomer" asking for money or gift cards, please do not follow through. We appreciate your kindness and compassion when we are "at a conference and need gift cards right away" because we "forgot our phone."  But, this is a scam.  The email is not from any of us, there is no conference, and we have our phones!  Please do not respond to the sender--ignore and delete these annoying emails.  Thank you.

Other group members prepare and bring the other dishes. Everyone brings their own wine or other beverage of choice.
