Picture this: the bustling Brownstone transformed into a beef-lover's paradise, where the only thing sizzling hotter than the steaks is the competition on the dueling pianos! Two musicians face off like rock stars in a musical cage match. Request your favorite song, and watch as they attempt to outdo each other. One moment it’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” the next it’s an epic rendition of “Let It Go” that turns into a surprise rap battle. Who knew Elsa had skills like that? Side dishes abound, drinks are flowing, and the tricky tray glows, a veritable treasure chest of amazing prizes! Who knew fundraising could be this much fun?

Bring a book you actually plan to read, a sleeping bag that hasn’t been in your garage for 10 years, and a pop-up tent (optional but 10/10 for aesthetic). Prepare to get cozy on the floors of the all-purpose room—it’s like camping, but with WiFi and no actual bugs.

We’ll provide the s’mores (no need to burn them yourself), Bug Juice (don’t worry, it’s just a nostalgic drink, not an ingredient list), and, of course, all the reading fun you can handle!
