NY/NJ/PA crew...new poll for next year

Since one of the guys is in the picnic catering business, I was considering whether people might be interested in kicking in some set amount for a spring meet to have all the food and drink supplied and served.

For example, we could have 2 hot dishes - BBQ chicken plus burgers, plus cold salad, beer and soda.
Or something fancier, something for the vegetarians, etc. Some real crab meat perhaps.

I can work up a price plan with some indications of preference.

Obviously this would require firmer commitments on whether or not you can attend, but the dates can be handled closer to that timeframe.

Edit: I was thinking of something in the range of $20 or so. Shouldn't be a deal breaker for all you wealthy movers and shakers. We can get a better idea of the range after coming up with food choices.

I'm game. It's a good idea because 1. We don't have to worry about grill space and 2. We don't have to worry who's gonna slip a roofie in any of stuff they brought.

I can't make a poll until I get input on the possible selections. Then you guys can see the pretty colors and click on a radio buttons.

I know it's hard, but try.

If it's going to be warm enough to be outside, I'm thinking April. Is that enough advance planning?

Alternatively, we could do it sooner if anyone had an indoor pool.
