The team will provide the meat! It's Fried Chicken from Wal-Mart. If we can get
each family to bring either an appetizer, side dish, or dessert that would be great! I’m also planning on bringing a big water cooler of lemonade, but if anyone wants something different and wants to bring their own drinks that’s fine too.
