Villages rules for our Appetizer Party:

The Villages will do the table layout: two tables wide and five tables long with two chairs at each table. Thus we will have seating for 20 people. More tables can be added if we get a better turnout. We've been asked not to move tables or chairs.
Bring an appetizer to share and a serving spoon for your dish, if needed. We will provide plates, forks and napkins. We will provide servers to serve the dishes.
Bring your own beverages (including water & ice) as the kitchen will be closed.
