Most of this has been taken care of already, anyone can feel free to
call us or e-mail at any time rather than go back over decisions that =
have=20
already been finalized.
Does anyone ever go to a concert and expect to get anything for free? =
(Only as=20
an incentive to buy a ticket and then it is figured into the price =
anyway.)
It would be out of the ordinary, and in our society, free things lose =
their value.
Free food? There is a lot of work and expense involved in providing food =
for an event...the purchasing, preparation, cooking, hauling, unloading, =
set up, selling, cleanup, pack up, hauling, unloading, cleaning and =
putting away. This is a service that people are willing and happy to =
pay for, and is one of the reasons when you buy food and drink at an =
event they are more expensive (not free!). You are taking the product TO =
the consumer instead of them coming to you.
Don Anderson has made a very generous offer in donating his wine and =
mead for this concert. We will provide a person, if he needs one, to =
help him with taking in the money since the server/pourer is not legally =
allowed to handle money (germs on cash and all). Rick is contacting Don =
about that. Rick and Vic discussed the ABC license yesterday and have =
that under control. =20
Sue has contacted Odwalla to donate 300 juices which will be a wonderful =
refreshment. Thanks Sue! These sell for around $2.50 and will be a =
good fund raiser although it's easiest to sell things for round amounts, =
$2 or $3, which one do you think?
Sue has also contacted a person about donating 100 pastries, any new =
word on that?
We plan to make minestrone soup along with sliced bread from La =
Boulangerie, donated by the kind and generous owner and KPFA listener, =
Patrick.
We are also planning an antipasta plate as well as cookies.
This event is virtually sold out. There are some volunteer =
opportunities still available for parking directors, food servers, =
reception table, runners and=20
clean-up. Post here if you are interested.

Thank you all! - Janet=20
