RF - Raven's Fort Yule Revel

Sat Dec 30 05:11:12 PST 2000

Dinner time will be when the turkey is ready!  Which should be around 6:30 
pm or so.
We have at our disposition a full oven, a four burner stove top and maybe a 
microwave.  Reheating stuff shouldn't be a problem.
Don't forget to bring your chairs and feast gear!
See y'all there!
Gwynn
