Your help is needed with distributing Posters and Flyers!

Hey friends, we need your help or the help of someone you know to help put up posters and distribute flyers!  Flyers are the main way many of our guests get to hear about the dinner, so by helping with this, you are bringing people to the table to eat!

Email me at [email protected], and please share this with your networks.

And here is the pdf version of the flyer if you’d like to help distribute that digitally.  It happens to be huge though at 27 megs.  I’m sure there’s a way to get it smaller, but I haven’t figured it out yet.  here’s the download link:
