People will be asked to RSVP to an invitation so the committee can determine the amount of food to purchase. Members should bring drinks, an April Fool's joke, and food to share.

On May 6th there will be a Cinco de Mayo party with the club providing Margaritas and fillings for tacos to add to meat or fish that people bring. That will be Saturday evening and an e mail invitation will be sent out.
