*BBQ News Flash*

***** Most Brand Newest: 9/2/07 Need help getting to the BBQ?  Have a car, but want some company?  If so, please contact Lindsay (lludwig@wisc.edu) and tell her if you need, or can provide, transportation (be sure to include where you will be coming from).

     ***** Brand Newest: 8/29/07 Sign-up Sheet for the BBQ is now posted on the door of the third floor lounge.  Don't forget to show everyone how cool you are by signing up.  Remember, the THC provides the meat (and "veggie" meat) and beer but relies on you to help with desserts, sides and salads.

****Even More Brand New: 8/22/07 Legendary Cattle Rancher and BBQ Master Tom Cox agrees to 'steer' the grill for THC BBQ MADNESS 2007.  Tom is known for his peerless analysis of global agricultural policy, impressive research record, expert BBQ prowess, and for saving Christmas in Hogspit, Kansas in 1977.
