Okay, it's all cool by me. I wasn't so much thinking of giving away FOOD, =
but in the past when Utah's played at the Fresno Art Museum we would have =
a reception-type table with free soda, coffee, wine and cheesy-things. =
Guess that's what I had in mind when the metion of wine came up.
See ya Tuesday!

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
