PARENTS AND FOOD:
Please sign up for providing a meal for the team on either of the remaining build days. We no longer need food for Sunday 2/18 because we will be at STEM Action for scrimmage, but need for the Saturday 2/24 for Unbag.
The team will need lunch and dinner for the Saturday and Sunday events, the signup for those events will be forthcoming.
The Saturday and Sunday lunch will be premade sandwiches by a parent, I will get the supplies. If a single parent can make the sandwiches for the Saturday and Sunday it will be easier than trying to break supplies apart. The parent can then either bring to the event to distribute or we can possibly just bring with us in the morning to distribute during the day at lunch. Please let us know if interested in assisting.
The dinners on Saturday and Sunday will be ordered from a nearby place, pizza has worked best on Sunday because that time frame can vary based on each event. The Saturday dinner is still to be determined, again if anyone interested please let us know.
