FHE - June 1st

Are you super excited about all the summer BBQ's on the way but ashamed that you really don't know the difference between gas and charcoal, think that dry rub refers to a scary Swedish massage option, or have never touched a can of lighter fluid in your life? (if you ever went to boy scout camp I won't believe that last statement) Or do you just want some good food?

If so, you're in luck! Family Home Evening is going to be an evening of BBQ techniques and tips taught to us by the talented at everything Adam Ellison.

When: Monday, June 1st, 7:00 pm

Where: At Adam's house 1603 11th St S, Arlington, Virginia 22204

Important Info*: This is a BYOM&B (bring your own meat and buns) event, so whether you want chicken, hot dogs, bratwurst, filet mignon, or tofu burgers- bring it along with you.

Also if you're feeling generous and want to show off your summer salad making skills, you will not be turned away.

p.s. It's rumored that Adam owns a copy of Lord of the Dance, and we may be able to persuade him to put it on the big screen, if he has a VCR that is :)

* Don't forget the Midsingles conference on July 3rd, 4th, and 5th for mid-singles from around the country ages 31-45! Go to www.mtvernonmidsingles.com for more information and to register and pay on the website! *
