SPRING PROGRESSIVE DINNER

We are "cooking" up an awesome BYOB Grill & Chill progressive dinner for May 13th! This will be a less formal progressive than the fall, but just as fun!

We are currently looking for hosts & wanted to share the key details:

This will be a Backyard/Outdoor meal, much more casual than the Fall Progressive (e.g., you don't need to have a formal sit down dinner with a set table, food can be served as it is ready on the grill).

Hosts MUST be comfortable grilling (food will be supplied by the Evening Socials committee)..

If you are interested in hosting please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/xC6cxfZBLdeGu65z9
