Hey, thanks for checking in about the neighborhood block party next month. To answer your question, yes, we are still planning to set up the long tables along the west side of the park, near the oak trees. Sam said the city approved the permit, so we should be fine. We just need to confirm how many folding chairs the community center can lend us. I think Karen mentioned they have about forty, which should cover most of the older folks who prefer sitting. For the food, Greg is bringing his smoker, and we are doing pulled pork sandwiches. My sister is handling the side dishes, so potato salad and coleslaw are covered.
You asked about drinks. We are asking everyone to bring a cooler with their own beverages, but we will have a big tub with ice and some lemonade. I remember last year we ran out of cups, so maybe grab a pack of the sturdy paper ones if you are near the store.
Also, the music setup is still up in the air. My cousin has a portable speaker, but it is not very loud. Let me know if you still have that PA system from your church group. That would be ideal. We want to keep the volume reasonable so the neighbors do not complain.
See you there.

What Makes These Cooling Pillows Worth Having
| Temperature-regulating fabric gently disperses warmth for a more even sleep surface. |
|
A breathable inner core encourages steady air movement through the night. |
| | | |
| The supportive loft is designed to cushion the neck while keeping the spine aligned. |
|
A smooth, low-friction cover helps reduce tossing from fabric drag. |
| | | |
| Each pillow in the set is balanced for side, back, and combination sleepers. |
|
The case is removable and washable, which helps keep the surface feeling crisp. |
|
|
Only one pillow set is available per household. The total allocation for this program is 800 pillow sets. Availability of the two-night stay, including specific dates and locations, is based on program scheduling.
This ends tomorrow. If you have any questions, simply complete the short questionnaire and a team member will provide further details. You will not be billed for the pillows or the qualifying stay nights.

Thanks for staying at a Marriot Hotel. We value your perspective.

So about the question you asked earlier regarding the office potluck, I wanted to give you a clear answer. Yes, the conference room on the third floor is booked for the second Thursday, and we have it from noon until two. Carol is bringing her slow cooker for the chili, and Mike said he would handle the taco bar. We are asking everyone to sign up on the sheet near the break room. Desserts are still a little thin, so if you want to bring those lemon bars again, that would be great.
I know you asked if we should do a theme, but I think keeping it simple is better. Last time the taco salad was a hit, so no need to overcomplicate it.
You also asked about plates and napkins. I checked the supply cabinet, and we have enough for about thirty people. Since we are expecting closer to forty, can you grab a pack of the heavy-duty ones from the store? I will reimburse you from the small cash envelope in the top drawer.
Let me know if you want to help set up before noon.
