Greetings Macomb Feminist Network,

Save the date: The Celebration of Life for Sally Egler is scheduled for Saturday, June 6, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at The Penny, 24 West Side Square, Macomb.  

A number of  people have asked "what can we do," so this email opens that door.   Please don't feel you have to participate in the various opportunities to help the organizers, Lars Egler and Charlene Callison.   We have worked out the following schedule for those who have the time and can assist in making this event a great recognition of Sally's personality, influence, and contribution to our community. 

PLEASE DO NOT "REPLY ALL" TO THIS MESSAGE, but email me, par...@macomb.com with specific times/duties and/or specific food contributions if you would like to help in any of the three areas.  I will follow up with more details as well as confirm/remind each of the times and duties.   

1. CONTRIBUTE APPETIZERS OR DESSERT:
  details of  delivery times and containers (prefer disposable or labelled personal containers) will be with the confirmation.
Since the anticipated attendance is around 200,  we would like to supplement the catered food with personal contributions providing variety and a personal touch.  
APPETIZERS could include any of your favorites or standards such as deviled eggs, fruit platter, cheese/crackers platter, vegetable platters with dip,  nuts/olives/pickles/chips & dips,  etc.
DESSERTS: sheet cakes, cookies, chocolates, butter mints, etc. etc. (No cream pies please or cream items.  Indicate if a dessert has nuts.)

2. ASSISTING AT FOOD/DRINK TABLES:  resupply food, etc.  We need 4 people each hour. Charlene will be available at all times to coordinate and assist.
Saturday, June 6:  3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.  receiving and distributing food contribution.
Saturday, June 6:  4:00 p.m. to 5:00  p.m.  Serving and replenishing food at 4 food tables.    
Saturday, June 6:  5:00 p.m. to 6 p.m.  Serving and replenishing food at 4 food tables.
Saturday, June 6:  6:00 p.m. to 7 p.m.  Serving and replenishing food at 4 tables.
Saturday, June 6:  7:00 p.m.  MANY are needed to assist in clearing the area.

3. PREPARATION:  assisting in arranging, decorating the room, etc.  
If you can spare and hour or two during any of these times, it would be a big help in moving things to The Penny and arranging/decorating in the building.  
Thursday June 4: 3 to 5 p.m.  
Friday, June 5: 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 and 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Saturday, June 6:  any time you can spare between 10 a.m. to 12, 1:00 to 3:00

The Eglers and Charlene Callison thank you in advance for your interest.
