Northwoods:
Time to get serious! I'll be running the planning for the Taco Feed again for the 3rd time in the last 4 years 4th time in the last 5 years (can't believe I messed that up initially - time flies). As always, I might be organizing, but it is YOU that makes the taco feed happen by signing up to bring all the stuff that's needed and helping out with the cooking, cleaning, and so on.
I have been told that the ORC will provide the oil for the frying this year along with plates!
NOTE: Latest intel is we will NOT be getting beer from Ninkasi this year. They now require a 501c3 and although HOW (the recipient of our fundraising along with Neighbors for Kids) is a 501c3 we can't use their status as they don't allow booze at sponsored events. Plus it sounds like we'd require a licensed server to dispense all beer even if we had 501c3 that we could get it under. So, bottom line, this event is officially BYOB. Unless one of the organizers tells me otherwise.
Sound off if you want to take one or more of the jobs listed below. Many hands make light work. If I don't get enough volunteers I'll start grabbing random people and putting them to work. :police:
As we were unable to fish last year due to ocean conditions several folks brought in frozen bottom fish fillets for the taco feed. Please sound off if you have enough in your freezer (even if old and freezer burned) that you're prepared to bring if weather looks dodgy as we get close.
