I was invited my president's home party.
He'd like to hold a barbecue!

Participation fee is \1000

Now, I wonder I should bring something or not.
My thoughts are two.
1. He has much money. And the party to be hold to ｔｉｄｅ over hot summer. So, everybody is invited. Ａm I ok just paying participation fee ａｓ well?
2. I'm interested in my president's home. I want to see what kind woman he chose. Since I'm also responsible for president's secretarial job, I think I am different position from the others.

Invitation card says \1000 or bring food.

Am I ok just to pay \1000?
Or, I should bring anything else.

I will go by train. Water or water melon is heavy.
Personally, I think flowers not suited for this party.

Joe, you are familiar with American party. What did you do?
Buddy, please give me your opinion.
Thank you in advance, and am looking for receiving any idea.
