[ba-filk-announce] June House Filk

[Carole Parker <mscip@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All:

While the title and description does not specifically say that it's a 
house filk, filking can easily happen since we have a split-level 
house. For those with mobility issues, we can have you avoid the steps 
by coming in through the garage or around the side of the house. The 
plan is to have food and conversation on the main level, and filking in 
the family room or downstairs library.

Please note, that when doing a particular activity is indicated, that 
is intended to include filking.

We hope that people can come.

                               June Milestones Celebration

It seems like a lot of milestone events happen in June: birthdays, 
anniversaries,
graduations, and marriages. So, it's time to celebrate the joyous 
events that have
happened in our lives.

Food highlights:
Saturday: Potluck dinner with a special tiramisu cake to share. If the 
weather is
           warm, we might even have some homemade ice cream.

Sunday:   Brunch has two options available, please indicate your 
preference:
           * Dim sum at a local Chinese restaurant. Everyone splits the 
cost equally.
             RSVPs required for making a reservation at the restaurant.

           * Waffles at our house. We make the waffles, you bring 
something that goes
             with the waffles. RSVPs requested, so we can have enough 
batter on hand.

          Evening barbecue - poolside if the weather allows.

Activity highlights:
Saturday: In the afternoon, it can be swimming, games - including 
bridge, or crafting
           if people want to do handwork. Along with conversation, of 
course.

           In the evening, standard party with the ability to split off 
activities into
           another room if enough people want to do something.

           In the later evening, the hot tub will be available.

Sunday:   After brunch, relaxing by the poolside if the weather is nice 
enough. If
           enough people want to do a particular activity, we can do 
that, too.

For those that want to stay the whole weekend, we have spare bedrooms 
available if
you don't want to commute back-and-forth.
