From Harry Bates, K5BHW
I recently spoke with Wayne and we discussed a group communication regarding food plans for field day, as some weren’t sure if there was a ‘plan’ or if we were on our own. The following is what was discussed in our telephone conversation:
— Tracy will bring a grill and meat.
— Wayne will bring hamburger patties and a fixings tray.
— Harry will bring hot dog buns and some drinks and snacks.
— Karey will bring weenies, etc.
— Darrell will bring baked beans and a cake
