Meeting-20110821

WPLUG's 10th annual Open Source Picnic will be held at Snyder Park tentatively set from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Sunday, August 21, 2011. The reason why we call it "Open Source" is because everyone who attends is to contribute by bringing food, helping out, or organizing activities. It will be as good as the community makes it! Plan to bring the whole family!

There are many ways to participate. Sign up under one of the categories below. If an item is unclaimed, go ahead and take it! If you think of an item that isn't listed, add it.

• Judi -- wplug is giving us $50.00 for food. I will buy meat to grill and maybe side dishes, depending on how many people will be here. I do think people should volunteer to bring condiments, drinks and maybe fruit and/or dessert. By Thursday we should know how many people are coming. .

What I am buying so far: 85/15 ground beef, 1/3 lb hot sausage, 1/3 lb. sweet sausage, 1 package beef wieners, rolls/buns, 30 or so spicy, Chinese chicken dumplings, cheese, 1/2 dozen corn on the cob for grilling, veggies, lettuce, cole slaw/pepper slaw (sweet peppers). (I'll put this together myself.) I'll know how much this will cost later. Peppers and cherry tomatoes for the veggie tray. Someone else bring other veggies if you want, someone else bring dip.
