Just thought I'd bring some info to everyone's attention , especially if someone's not happy about donating to the food fund at the carlisle show .

With only adding up what a couple spent on food/stuffs for the Carlisle show , I easily came up with $300+ . By placing a donation box in the tent , we raised $85 to help offset some of the costs spent by some people . It's not like we over-bought really bad on food , as there wasn't really that much left over (some hamburgers , cheese , a few rolls , mostly-eaten bags of chips , some dip ... stuff like that) . It's really not all about the money & stuff , seeing as this is the first year we've had a donation box in the tent . I'm sure we'd have the CEG picnic anyways .
There's some discussion about next year's club picnic @ Carlisle . We may go to a pre-pay dealie (maybe $20) , with food cards given out to people (with their names on it) , then we'll use that money raised to buy bulk food @ Sams or whatever , and not have people worry about bringing food . Plus that would let the people who show up on friday have something to eat , rather than waiting for people (like me ) who show up on saturday to bring plates , salads , condiments , etc. to bring their stuff .

What do you guys think about the pre-pay idea for the food ??

I REALLY apreciate that people donated to the food fund - every little bit helps . Where else can you stuff food down your cake-hole all weekend for a $10 donation ?? CEG rocks !

I am down for what ever works, I gave more then what was asked not that it really matters

what ever makes it most fair to everyone is the best way to go, unless people are happy with how things have been in the past, then don't change what isn't broke

Allen, you know me. I'll go along with whatever works out best for the group. I don't mind bringing whatever I signed up for, but if a donation is easier, I'll do that that too.

We had plates and condiments just no plastic ware to eat with.

Seriously, that sounds like a plan.

If this is what we decide to do, I am considering bringing/registering my Exploder next year. We can load everything in it and not have to worry about trying to fit everything into the Contours.

A huge thank you to all that brought items and donated this year!

LOL! You were packed! I had no room left either.
If we are bringing everything next year it all won't fit in our two cars, that's for sure.

That sounds good. Even $20 is a hell of a good deal compared to the food prices at the show. And it was fun eating cheeseburgers w/o any utensils AND no buns.

Well , we have 11 months & 3 weeks to decide what we wanna do , but I wanted to fill everyone in on what's been tossed around in conversation with me , and what was actually spent on the foodstuffs .
Of course , I'm down for whatever the group wants .
