Hi Mara,
This sounds like fun - quite a change from the usual solitary existence most of us lead.
Try a book light. I used one (battery operated) for an outdoor painting session that began at dusk.
You could also try one of those flashlights that mount on your forehead. I think you can find them at stores that sell camping equipment. Another participant in the painting group used one. It seemed to work even better than the book light, since wherever you are looking you have illumination, whether it is your painting or your palette.
A practice run ahead of time to see if either of these suggestions will meet your needs would probably be wise.
I agree with the idea of preparing your palette ahead of time, since even with the book light, you will have a hard time discerning subtleties in the color and value in dim light and having your "notes" already lined up will be extremely valuable when you have time constraints.
All the best - post some pictures after the event so we can see how it all went down!
