I suppose if people are putting their potluck items in the RSVP notes in
the online calendar, then that's fine. However, to be sure you aren't
duplicating a meal choice, eveyrone should probably check both locations
this time, and maybe in the future, i won't bother with perfect potluck.
However, perfect potluck allows me to list how many of each item i think we
should have and what to bring to the event, such as paper plates, forks,
dessert, ice cream, popsicles, etc.
But i guess an email asking for those items would work just as well.
I see your point Alex.
However, for a public event, the public can't RSVP their chosen foods in
our online private members only calendar.
This is a private event so it works well
i guess i should be sure to tell the public to use perfect potluck
and just have the members rsvp in the private calendar, but then the public
doesn't know what we are already bringing to dinner.
having the list in one place is better, i think...
that's why i started using perfect potluck
and it can't be that hard to rsvp in the calendar and then use the provided
link to go put in your food choice

Hi Terri,
I don’t mean this to sound like a complaint, but all the potluck “goodies”
people plan to bring are already in the RSVP notes. (At least I think they
are.) If that’s true, then I don’t understand the reason for having the
same information in two places. Maybe I’m missing something?…

PAS Members attending Mike's party this Sunday,
I'd really appreciate it if you would take a moment to RSVP your
food in *Perfect Potluck* so that the rest of the group who haven't
decided
what to bring, can see what is coming and bring something to compliment
the attending food. We like variety.
http://www.perfectpotluck.com/meals.php?t=GIGP3811
Go there now... enter your food... and please put it under the proper
section
There are sections for
Main Dish
Side Dish
Dessert, etc.
We could also use more large *dinner plates*,
small *dessert plates, forks* and *bowls* for this dinner.
I will bring what PAS has purchased, but if anyone wants to help out, that
would be greatly appreciated.
PS: Some of you are receiving this email because you recently joined PAS
and I didn't see you sign up on the list serv. This may be your last email
about upcoming events. Take a moment to read your *Welcome Kit* and sign
up for one or both list servs so you don't miss upcoming emails about
events.
*PASMembers* and *PASAnnounce* are the two main list serves and you need
to sign up for one or both, your choice.
Everyone have a spectacular, astronomical day!
Terri, Event Manager

Good morning PAS Members,
It's an awesome Wednesday!
The weather looks like it will be decent for the July 3 party at Mike's
house that HAS a Star Party!
Please take a moment to RSVP your attendance. I need this info to plan
the parking. I will be leading the parking, so please park where asked to,
unless you see some better situation for parking, then tell me what you
have in mind. I'm open for suggestions on how to fit more cars into the
available parking space in front of Mike's house.

If you can't get into this link, email me so i can fix your access to the
Private Calendar. If you don't RSVP by end of day on Saturday, I may ask
you to park in the Wash. So, let me know you are attending, thanks.
Potluck...
Here is a link to your new group meal:
http://www.PerfectPotluck.com/meals.php?t=GIGP3811
<http://www.perfectpotluck.com/meals.php?t=GIGP3811>
We need more Main dishes,
and we could use some sides
Remember, bring what you can eat as a meal, for the biggest meal of the
day for you, plus one extra person worth, so we can share and everyone can
try it all.
And we need drinks brought too - a 6 pack of non alcohol, or a 2 liter
bottle is perfect to share.
Looking at Perfect Potluck, I can see we can't have a full meal with just
ice cream and Shredded Pork on buns. Please, pop into the above Perfect
Potluck link and enter the food you are bringing to this party. Try not to
duplicate foods. Bring something to enhance the meal, please.
Plus there will be a birthday party, and Sam is bringing the ice cream.
Thank you Sam.
And we need everyone to bring a box, it can be 4 or 6 or more in a box,
of Popsicles or other individually wrapped ice treats for during the
fireworks. Please list this item in perfect potluck so we know we have
enough to share.
While we wait for it to get dark, we will first have a mini presenation
on the 2017 Solar Eclipse Trip - an update, and then we can vote on and
watch a movie until about 8:45 when we should grab the coolers and chairs
and go out to see the fireworks and enjoy the view with the Popsicles.
After the fireworks, we will judge the sky and possibly set up
telescopes, or watch more movies.
Here's the forum thread about this event:

Everyone should read this thread before attending, please.
I wish to thank Mike for hosting this event. And please remember to
donate $1/attendees or more to Mike for having this great party. We need to
