I may ask you all to bring some of the ingredients or contribute to the cost.

Of course, Gini, we will be contributing. I plan on covering the cost of the chicken this year as well as making the Bailey's and an appy...and of course....some slushie and BM ingredients.
While I do like your #3 suggestion Gini, we don't want the people to think that all we do is drink......
I like your ideas Debbie about carrying forward the theme from year to year. Oh dear, listen to me...we are assuming that Gini will be hosting this every year.....is that pressure or what??!!
