Ok, time to get together for our first event and what better than an awesome BBQ!!
We lurrrrrve BBQs. We also lurrrrrrve a HOT SUMMER day. So let's combine the two into one event!
We've reserved a large covered picnic pavilion for us right along the beautiful Potomac River. The area comes complete with a softball field, volleyball area, and horseshoe pits... so we'll have plenty of grounds to play on.
We'll have food. We'll have beer. We'll have sides. We'll have games. We'll meet new people, hang out with old... all while eating, drinking, and having fun!
Come join us for the group's inaugural event! We'll have:
FOOD: We'll have hamburgers, veggie burgers, hot dogs, and chicken
DRINKS: We'll have beer, soda, diet soda, and water
SIDES: We'll have dinner rolls, cookies, chips, pie, cake, and pasta salad
GAMES: We'll have a 3 legged race, sack race, and a tug-of-war contest!
Bring a frisbee, bring some friends, and bring your fun and friendly self! Also, feel free to bring more food, or anything you'd like to grill!
We've got an early bird special for this event of just $15! The first 55 paid sign-ups, or those who pay before Sunday, August 1st (whichever comes first) get the early bird price! After that, it will go up to $20. Secure your slot by rsvp'ing yes AND making payment! Come join us as we spend a fun and pleasant day with others while enjoying our FIRST BBQ for the year!

Since we've paid in advance for the pavilion, all sales are final. Hopefully you understand we can't have people canceling and requesting a refund, when that spot could have been filled by others. Thanks for understanding. =)
When I signed up, my payment went to 20's and 30's Group. If that's not right, let me know. See you soon!
Allie - we are only allowed one paypal account per meetup acct so for now that is the acct we have to use. Your payment will be applied toward the 30s & 40s Group :) See you there!
I suppose this would be a good time to ask if I can ride with anyone, I'll go to the nearest metro stop near you and would gladly donate gas money. Thanks in advance!
Juan, no problem. Send me an email.
Lisa, the pavillion is covered so this event is rain or shine.
Anyone coming from Baltimore or Columbia area that I could carpool with??
I am coming from Germantown, MD and I am available to carpool if there is more people coming from this area.
It was nice meeting everyone. Hope you all had a great time.
