Please arrive at 4:30 and be able to stay until the meal is completed
Please be sure and follow the dress code; shoes, no sleeveless shirts, and no shorts.

If possible, we need to know if you will be able to join us two days ahead of time because we now need to advise the staff of who will be working.
