You may arrive as early as 9 a.m. to socialize and get an early view of Bill's home. Our meeting will start at 10 a.m..

Box lunches will be available for $20. Coffee, iced tea, lemonade, water, and other beverages will be provided at no cost. You must order your lunch in advance to be guaranteed availability.
