Thanks for the offer, but we don't need any food donations for this month. All the food is purchased, and we even came in at almost exactly $40, so we're good to go. Hopefully folks will find the menu agreeable:
spiral cut ham with dinner rolls and mustard (mini ham sandwiches)
veggie tray with celery, carrots, cucumber, and hummus
cheese and crackers
an apple dessert Jim is making
Certainly not a "meal", but hopefully more substantial than just chips and salsa, and hopefully diverse enough to satisfy the myriad dietary requirements and tastes of the members. Plus, it was easy.
But hey, it's an experiment, and we'll evaluate it's relative success or failure after the meeting, and if we need to go a different direction, we will.
Based on the discussion in this thread, we decided to forgo getting sodas, so if you'd like something other than water to drink, you should arrange to bring it yourself. We skipped chips as well.
