The fine print of the evening
Drinks
Waters & sodas on us
Beer and wine are a cash bar — that's club policy, not a choice. Waters and sodas are provided.
Music
Band from six, open-ended
The band starts at 6:00 pm with no hard end time. The evening winds down on its own schedule.
The coolers
Three coolers, one trunk
All loaded and delivered — iced Friday morning and already up at the venue.
Exit plan
Slip out early, guilt-free
Out-of-town family may stay late. Brandon and Kristin are leaving early — Saturday is the big day.
