Contribute and get fed!

A number of Board members have mentioned their willingness to host fundraiser dinners where a member will invite a number of their friends over for dinner, serve food and ask for donations.

A similar thought would be that every time SEEC Board members ask to have a dinner meeting at a restaurant, we instead gather at a member’s house for a meal and donation.  This meal could be a group effort- a potluck of sorts where members will bring food to contribute- or a singular effort where one member would prepare a meal.

Think about it- a tray of lasagna feeds a lot of people and although time-consuming to make by scratch, it is not unbearable to prepare.  If 5-8 people who chowed down contributed $10-$20 bucks, SEEC would have gained $50-160 (taking the lowest and highest scenarios).  Not too shabby.

I suppose the success of this meal depends on how well our Board members cook or, alternatively, how tolerant the members are of other people’s food.
