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.

distributing food contribution.
Saturday, June 6: 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Serving and

3. PREPARATION: assisting in arranging, decorating the room,

it would be a big help in moving things to The Penny and
arranging/decorating in the building.
