Hi Jim,
What do you want us to bring to movie night? Ben will buy pizzas because he always does. John will
bring chocolates and Mary will make a salad. As usual, David won’t bring anything. I will bring drinks,
and Lillian and Jo will buy cheese. Is that OK?

Hi Peter,
The Picnic on Saturday is going to be fantastic. I can’t wait. Is there anything you’d like me to bring?
Chloe will bring some salad, she always makes one for us. David will bring some chicken and Sarah will
make some sandwiches. I think Martha will get some juice. Hopefully, Sharon and Andrew will make a
cake. I just hope the weather will be nice and sunny! I can bring some salami and some cheese if you
like.
See you Saturday,
Doug
