Thank you Lisa for offering a different perspective. I wouldn't mind hearing from others that put on events how cookers can help make a great event happen. I think most of us are more than willing to talk with any event organizer if they ask us our opinions...we should be willing to listen to theirs as well. If I were putting on a event here would be my top wishes, signup as soon as you can, don't cancel on me for a better opportunity, if I do a atb on Friday night help me out and don't whine - it's for the charity. That's a couple of starters....anyone else want to chime in?
