How to use this list
Confirm the reunion location, pavilion number, and parking payment method first. Pack the assigned potluck dish with its serving utensil, then place it in the cooler with four ice packs if it needs to stay chilled. Load the foldable table, four chairs, picnic blanket, reusable plates, cups, cutlery, and two outdoor games next.
Common mistakes
