Still time to sign up,  but please RSVP this week. We need an accurate count for the barbecue to order food and libations.   We have several players looking for partners - Let us know if you can play.  Those not playing in the tournament are invited to the barbecue - $10 per couple; $5 per single.    

Barbecue - 6PM at Rick and Donna Armstrong's home in Walden Pond (2023 Sandy Pond Lane ).  We will have BBQ, hush puppies, slaw, rolls, desert, keg of beer, wine, soft drinks/mixers.  BYOB if you want something other than beer or wine.  We will have a few activities, such as corn hole, horse shoes, etc. and a Kentucky Derby wager.  Rick lives on a pond so you can do a little fishing if you'd like.  

We look forward to seeing you and<< Test Spouse >>
