[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Mike's July 4th BBQ

by Anna B. Shin

Dear Group, Mike would like to invite everyone to a BBQ at his home in Holliston on Sat 4 July to celebrate the holiday. It will start around 4pm (although early arrivals are welcome to help set up). :) Holliston is about a 40min drive from Cambridge, so the best way to get there is to coordinate with those who can make it and drive over together. So far, Alan and Dori are attending. Please RSVP if you plan to join in the festivities. Mike will need to get an approximate headcount to plan ahead. Also, if it gets too enormous, it may turn into BYOB. ;) Those who want to see the fireworks later can probably get back to Boston in time for the show. According to Mike, it usually doesn't start until closer to 10pm. Best, Anna P.S. Btw, Sat 4 July is Alan's 33rd birthday! Another reason to celebrate with the _old_ boss man. :D
