4th Annual NE Fchat BBQ: Sunday 22 July

We're going to do this year's NE FerrariChat BBQ at Bertocchis. He & I need to get together & sort out some details so we can tell you more...

Meanwhile block out your calendars...

 

Drat fumble fingered the title, have asked the moderator to change it.

Doody,
Yes, It is indeed the 4th, how time flies...

 

This years event will be “La Fest Italiana” - An Italian Feast held at Villa Castelhano. It is co-hosted by Count Giavanni di Castelhano, Bertocchi, Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini and yours truly.

Date: Sunday 22 July
Time: 2:00 PM

Please RSVP by Friday 13 July via eMAILso I can send you directions to the feast. Also, eMAIL RSVPs will be used for the official headcount. So no eMAIL, no directions. To send email, click on my name by this post, then click on [send eMAIL to Verell] on the drop-down menu.

Please put BBQ in the subject line so my eMAIL filter will separate your replies from the spam & put it where I can find it. Why BBQ? Because it's short & I've already got the filter setup.

I'm also sending this out via eMAIL to people who've already said they're coming, & also to last year's BBQ list. However, after Friday 13 July I'm going to drop the names that I haven't received an RSVP from.

Count Castelhano has aranged for his serfs to set up a tent with plenty of tables, so we'll have cover from rain or too much sun!

MENU:
Provided by the graceous Count & Countess:
Lasagna
Sausage & Peppers
Italian Roast Chicken
Anti-Pasta
Spinach & Strawberry Salad w/poppy seed dressing
Paper goods

We still could use volunteers to bring:
Chips & Dip
Crudetes (aka veggies & dip)
Beer
Wine
Cheese & Crackers
More Desserts - never can have too many (BTW, What's that Italian cake with layers of pudding inside it called? Anyone have a good source for one?)

Anyone have Bocce Balls they could bring? Anyone willing to organize an informal Bocce Tournament?

We already have volunteers for:
Bottled Water - Pizzaman
Potato Salad - Pizzaman
Tortilla Chips - JesseJames
Italian Bread and a Dessert - RichMan
Soda, Beer, & a Dessert - TGF

NON-FERRARIS (P-cars & other lesser makes ;^)
I suppose if it's a significant one like the superlight 911 that came one time, or the only thing you have to drive, we'll find a place for it up the street & around the corner...

Heck, if it's raining, we'll even understand & let you park in the courtyard. But ONLY if it's raining...;^)

TOWING:
Please notify us in advance if you're planning to break down enroute so we can have phone #s, etc. ready so you can call for towing... Don't just arrive broken down & surprise everyone like a certain Down Easterner did the first year...
;^)

Altho, if you do break down, & don't want it towed, the good count will be able to fix it for you for a small phenomenal fee...
