Yes, it's okay to bring a visitor. I know how important it is to have support from our significant other. I assume she will be joining us for lunch ?

awesome!

Local Market:

Bill (Inland Empire Discus) will donate 1/4 lb of his new Pro-Growth BeefHeart Flake for the raffle.

Anyone who want to buy some, Bill can also bring it to the meeting and give a special price of $10 for anyone who wants to try 1/4 lb. Normal price for a 1/4 lb is $16. Also if anyone wants some nice red turq fry, he will probably still have some available.

Anyone interested in these offer, you can contact Bill directly.

Can you forward us Kevin's price list so I can make sure to visit the bank before hand?

Thanks.

Kevin will post his May Group Buy list & price at his forum (either tonight or tomorrow).
http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?t=79472

you know i'm in for sure. Benedict, am i picking you up? i can take care of the utensils (napkins, disposable plates, forks, what else?), but i would need a head count to know in what quantities to buy. i can also bring some Heineken if anyone else drinks that, lol. my wife might make something to bring as potluck. i will also be bringing items to donate to other members, none are new mind you but it something that i think will help others more than myself :D.

anyways, let me know, and we should probably start another list:

1. Larry (diamond_discus) - Diamond Bar, Lunch & Meeting
2. Kevin (notjustfish) - Baldwin Park, Lunch & Meeting
3,4. Allan Mark (allan_mark76) & girlfriend - San Deigo, Lunch & Meeting
5. Chad Hughes - San Deigo, Lunch & Meeting
6. Ricardo (rickztahone)- hailing from Reseda ;) for full event.

copy paste please...
