BUFFET MENU

With respect to dinner planning, we could use everyone’s help. If everyone could let us know which food menu items they would like from the list below, that would better enable us to accommodate everyone’s tastes. This buffet food supply will be prioritized for confirmed attendees access first. So, this eMail is sort of a last call for attendee confirmations. If you are bringing your wife or significant others, please let us know how many will be coming with you.
