Aug 7, 3 PM - Pool Party at Joe Milton's

Food, jam, swimming, pingpong, and maybe a card game in the back room. I am preparing chicken, pulled pork or brisket (depends what comes up on sale), and sausages. Will have water, iced tea, lemonade, and some soda. I’m gonna make a couple of sides-if your going to make something, please let me know so I won’t duplicate.

I will have a small pa and a few mics, and maybe 1 guitar amp. And a piano.

RSVP would be great so I know how much stuff to make-to the below email. Bring your own booze, and some for me! email Joe
