Please bring inexpensive prizes for the winners of talent show and parlor games (prize suggestions: bag of nuts, scented candles, toiletries, kitchen towels/mittens, x'mas tree ornaments, olive oils, cheeses, dried fruits, vegetable chips, spices). The more prizes we have the more games we will have! Also please bring dollar bills for the bingo game.

Other suggestions:
The party starts at 3 PM. Rudy suggested that those who arrive after 3 PM and those who say will come but do not show up will be fined $25 per couple. I suggest that the late comers pay a fine of $10 and the no-shows pay $25 per couple. Monies collected will be used as prizes.

Babie suggested to have a talent show ala America's Got Talent and American Idol. We will do it if there are at least three contestants.

Another suggestion from Rudy is to have Wii games. Nestor will provide the module & software.

Rudy will learn the gobblepalooza dance and will lead in the group dancing.
