Your West Valley party planners will host the event, reserve the venue,
and provide plates, utensils, napkins, cups, tableclothes and name tags.
All attendees are asked to bring food or drinks to share at the potluck party,
so get out your favorite recipes and show off your talent.
Please send names of attendees and your potluck dish to Phil at ...
email@philrutherford.com
The table below will be updated daily based on your input. Please check periodically to fill any gaps and ensure we do not have
a dozen bowls of potato salad.
Please note that alcohol is not allowed in city parks, so no spiked punch!
Additional chairs would also be welcome.
We are looking forward to seeing the whole OTP family again,
There will be no official hike that day,
though anyone can of course use the trails prior to, or after the event.
