We are providing a light lunch at this In-Service so no need to bring any food, just yourselves! As this is a catered event we need to know the number of people who are attending so if you could respond to this email to let me know if you will be coming I would really appreciate it. Even if you have let me know before, I need confirmation that you are still planning on attending. If I could receive your confirmations by May 10 that would be wonderful. If you have any special dietary requirements please let us know. As you all know, our services are free but a nominal donation toward the lunch would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to seeing you all there!
