BACKYARD BBQ - SUMMER KICK-OFF PARTY

BACKYARD BBQ - SUMMER KICK-OFF PARTY

You’re invited to a fun, festive backyard BBQ - a great way to kick off summer, meet new people, and reconnect with familiar faces from our amazing Meetup group - all in a fun, relaxed setting!
Expect plenty of delicious food, drinks flowing, and (fingers crossed!) sun shining. You won’t want to miss it!
I’ll be organizing everything, from the menu to the setup, and even surprise entertainment to make our gathering even more memorable. So… there’s nothing to bring except yourself (and maybe your favorite
liquor if you want a cocktail!).

DETAILS:

Date: Saturday, June 21 (Rain date: Sunday, June 22)
Time: 4:00 PM until...
Address: address in Westfield NJ provided upon registration
Cost: $55 per person

**Payment - To secure your spot, please send your payment ASAP via Zelle, Venmo (send to lisaalonge@msn.com) or check (message me for my address)
Only paid guests will be confirmed on the RSVP list.

Attendance is limited to about 50 guests, and interest is high. The final date to sign up is May 15 — but we will likely reach capacity before then. I will move people quickly from waitlist to RSVP.

Food: A generous buffet will include variety of favorites and an authentic southern-style BBQ dish from a local BBQ pit master featured on The Cooking Channel. There will also be non-meat options. If you’re vegetarian or gluten-free, please message me privately so I can plan accordingly.

Drinks: There will be a variety of beer, wine, and soft drinks. If you’d like a mixed drink, feel free to bring your favorite liquor - we’ll have mixers ready!

Cancellation: If something unforeseen comes up and you can’t attend, the last date for a refund is June 9. After that, refunds are not available — but you’re welcome to find someone to take your place and simply notify me of their name. Since there are many party expenses in advance, I won’t be able to issue refunds after June 9.

Weather Note: This is an outdoor event, and the rain date is Sunday, June 22. If you know in advance that you can only attend Saturday, please understand that no refund will be issued if the event is moved to the rain date. You’re welcome to give or sell your spot to someone else and let me know their name. I’ll monitor the forecast and make the final call by June 17. If both dates are rained out, and you cannot attend the new date, a full refund will be provided.

Looking forward to a great backyard party!
