HELP!  Yes, it takes a lot of work to put this fun party on!  Unfortunately even 
in these hard economic times there will be NO free entry for volunteering.  
Sorry!  

What's needed:
1)  Show up at 5 p.m. for set-up, decorating, etc. (you can change clothes at 
the Hall).
2)  Wood for the outdoor fireplace (can be dropped off earlier that day by 
arranging with me first).  I need approximately 4 boxes from Lucky's or Safeway, 
so donate what you can.
3)  FOOD!  We need finger food, can you bring a plate of cold cuts, cheese, 
crackers, spinach bowl, mini quiches, crock pot yumminess, etc.?  You can use 
the ovens at the Hall to heat things up.  

4)  Ice!  I buy, you go to the store and get it.  Again, arrange with me ahead 
of time and I'll give you the cash.  Drop off at 5 p.m. and we'll unload it.
5)  Paper goods--plastic cups and hot cups, small plates and bowls.   
6)  Sodas and bottled water--can you donate a liter of Coke or a 6-pack of 
bottled water?

It is an odd thing, but every one who disappears is said to be seen at San 
Francisco. It must be a delightful city, and possess all the attractions of the 
next world.
