Karen, FWIW, the hotluck's in Massachusetts are usually held on Sunday, Starting at about noon or 1PM. I think Saturday is used by people for other errands and stuff as many stores are open on Saturday, but closed on Sunday. As an observer of those trying to plan a hotluck (or other get-togethers), I've noticed that trying to pick a date to make people happy is a fools errand, you can't please everyone, so just pick a date and stick with it unless _YOU_ have a problem that requires rescheduling. Good luck with your event. Chuck Demas Needham, Mass.
