[TheForge] ABANA cook-out

[Terry Burch]

I'm the one with the wheelchair.  Please don't go to any trouble to 
make this "wheelchair accessible".  I can walk, just carefully.  I'm 
just limited in how much total walking / standing I can do in one 
day, or for any one period of time.

I should be easy to spot - it's a sport wheelchair with black and 
yellow camo tape on the frame.  I can give three people rides (it's a Rav4).

Given the logistics, I think meeting near the beer garden sounds good.
