In the case where a member is bringing a houseguest, they should call the event chairs and indicate how many additional guests they plan on bringing. Each member who attends the cocktail party is expected to bring an hors d’oeuvre. If a member is bringing a houseguest, they may be asked to bring an additional hors d’oeuvre as well.
