Based on a list compiled by Sam Showalter (Showalter3@aol.com) and
Jeremy Nafziger (JNafziger@aol.com). Jeremy advises:
Loaner books are available at all sings. Any edition will work if you are
bringing your own. For the two all-day sings, Hamburg and Bethel, you may
bring food to place on the common table, or just bring your own plate and
utensils and eat anything you want.
