這是一封美國同學寫給我的邀請函, 相當具有參考價值
You are invited to my home for dinner and an evening of entertainment on
Saturday Feb. 27th beginning at 6 PM. My daughter Caitlin (2) has
promised to exhibit her skills by putting on a bubble blowing exhibition
& possibly a short dance routine. I thought that after we ate,
would
could play some board (or card) games. Something along the lines
of
Balderdash, Charades, or Trivia Pursuit... If you have a favorite
game
please bring it.
The menu will consist (tentatively) of:
Honey Baked Ham, Turkey Breast,
Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli casserole,
Macaroni & cheese, Creme style
corn, Peas, Stuffing, Biscuits, and
Croissants... Drinks on hand will
be: Sweet Tea, Diet
Coke, Diet Mt. Dew, Milk, Water, Orange, Apple, and
Grape juice.
No
one is expected or encouraged to bring anything (except themselves),
but if
you feel you must, please let me know what ahead of time so that
we don't
double up on anything.
DIRECTIONS:
I live on Cumberland Blvd., which
is off of Cobb Pkwy. in Smyrna
(Northwest Atlanta intersection of 285 and
75). Take 75 to x-109b "285
West exit" (or take 285 to 75 North exit),
and follow the signs to
Highway 41 (Cobb Pkwy) instead of getting on
285. When you come to the
stop light, turn right and go through the
first stop light (near Service
Merchandise) and Turn Left at the Second Stop
light (top of the hill
near the Taco Bell). This is Cumberland
Blvd. Take a right at the
second stop light on Cumberland blvd. (only
about ?mile). There will
be a sign saying Walton Grove Apts.
Dial my number (#815) at the gate
call box & I will open the gate for
you. Go straight until the road
turns to the left, then turn right and
park. I am in apartment 201 (on
the BACK left of the building as you
are facing it). If you could keep
straight on the entrance road in the
apartment complex, it would run
past my front door (i.e., it is the building
you see at the end of the
straight stretch).
It is guaranteed to be
fun or I will give your money back. That was a
joke of course there is
no charge for anything. Please let me know as
soon as possible whether
or not you can attend, so I know how much food
to fix or if I should invite
others. I expect there will be about 10
people (all environmental
engineers at GT and their significant others).
My phone number is
(770) 436-3978. Feel free to call if you have any
questions.
Guest List: Barbara Brouckaert, TK Liu, Timmerly
Richman and Husband,
Elizabeth Corley and Husband, Kun-Lin Yang, Jianzhong
He, and Jessica
Mills.
