The event will be a no-host event and we encourage people to bring your own snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. We will have bottled water available. Family members are welcome at JANAFA-Newport events. It is recommended people bring lawn chairs/blankets. Dress code is very casual (jeans, sweatshirt, t-shirts, shorts), but if you are coming directly from work, that attire is acceptable.
