Organizational Meeting

A meeting was held Monday, October 13, 5:30-6:30 in Denny 401 with 13 in attendance.

A date of Friday, November 14 was selected for our first meal. This is subject to approval by Robert Barker (Ann will email him). We will have another brief organizational meeting on November 5 to work out any final details and collect money for shopping.

A menu was selected (see above) and a menu committee was formed.

Small work groups were set up for the different menu items. Each work group is responsible for finding a recipe, running it past the menu committee, sourcing, shopping, preparing their menu item. The work group is responsible for keeping receipts of all purchases so we can keep track of the costs.

The menu committee can help review the recipe to foresee any problems and help the work group figure out the logistics for their menu item (equipment, ingredients, cooking for a large group).

If all students participating in producing this meal (about 20) were to bring one guest, we will need to cook for about 40 people.

At our next meeting on November 5, we will work out a rough budget and collect $15 from each participant to cover the shopping costs. A $10 charge will be for your guest. Any funds left over, will go toward the next meal. Once we have been through this process, we will have a better idea if this amount is suitable.

Future Project Ideas:
Setting up an Outreach Committee to seek support from local organizations.
Fundraising, possibly from the Kellogg Initiative
