Woot Woot! A new venue for this year’s party.

Generally, it is a BYOB and pot luck with a lot of delicious food. Jeff will let us know if he wants people to bring specifics like paper plates, sodas, 40 gallon tub of jello, etc. Or, you can let him know what you are volunteering.

Additionally,
Ofrenda del día de muertos (Day of the dead altar)
What is an ‘ofrenda’ you may ask? Clearly you haven’t seen Coco (You should see Coco) Basically, it is an altar to remember those who have passed. A place to put photos and other offering of those no longer with us and reflect upon their memories. It is originally rooted in Aztec tradition but adopted by many in Mexico these days. Daniela and I have decided to begin observing this tradition this year as we both feel it is a beautiful tradition that keeps people in your memory.
We have already reached out to Dale who has provided me with photos of Scott Smith, Thom O’Malley, and Tom Merrick which we will be adding to the altar. If anyone has a photo of Tom Merrick playing Frisbee that would be preferred to the one that we already have, which is the one from his obituary.
If anyone else has a photo or something that they want to add to the altar for the night you are welcome to you do not have to at all. (And space will be somewhat limited)
Well that about covers that. If anyone has any questions about what to bring or where to park feel free to email us, and we will respond as soon as we can.
Thanks again for an amazing season and we hope to see you all on Tuesday!!!!
-Jeff and Daniela
