It's time for another get together - Spring is here! And Akiko's parents will be in town!!!! Matthew and Akiko are hoping that everyone will be available to come and visit with her parents.

Everyone, please SAVE THE DATE - we'll get a chance to spend time with Akiko's parents and celebrate March and April birthdays:

Saturday, April 4
Vic and D's House
12:30(ish) p.m.


So here is the plan... We will BBQ (probably ribs and chicken). These are the other items that might be included on the menu that we'd appreciate one of you to bring: (more specifically my brothers, sisters, brothers-in law or sisters-in law; of coursse neices, nephew, etc. are welcome to join in because I know many of you have become great chefs too)

Drinks
Salad (some type of "green" salad)
Chips and Dips
Fruit
David's Potato Salad (oh, does this sound like a request to someone?????)
Jello kind of thing?
Birthday Cake
Ice Cream

Of course the menu is always open to additional suggestions - so let me know what you are thinking. (If you do respond by e-mail, reply to all will inform everyone so we everyone will know what is happening.) I'll call during the week to check in with my brothers and sisters if I don't hear from you. I never know if this e-mail is reaching everyone, so please feel free to forward it to others.

My mistake when I collected all of your e-mails, I did not ask you to write your names. I have a collection of "codes and letters" and can't always tell who the e-mail belongs to, so hopefully you'll help out and send this on to anyone that is missing.
Thanks and love you all - looking forward to a fun time and of course great eating!!!
