- Lunch: Informal, on your own. We'll have a list of local delivery options (I'll probably brown bag it myself.)

Your next steps:
- Indicate via this MeetUp invite that you intend to come (or, indicate you can't come so we know to reach out when we plan the next one!)

What to bring:
- A folding table and tablecloths--just in case we need more!
- Your own lunch plan (and dinner plan if you don't want to join the pizza order)
