Family Gathering Plans
Subject: Plans for This Weekend
Hi everyone,
Let’s plan our family gathering for this weekend. We need to decide who’s bringing what so we have enough food without bringing too much of the same thing.
Aunt Maria offered to chip in some money for drinks, and Leo will bring snacks. I’ll prepare the main dish, but I need someone to help clean up afterward. Please reply by Thursday if you can help.
We’re planning to eat outside. If it rains, we can move indoors. We may need to change a few things, so let’s stay flexible.
The goal is to spend time together and enjoy ourselves. Thanks for doing your part!
Carla
