[SBU Board] My attitude about lunches is mixed

[Ann Romeo]

When we have no refrigeration, it is best NOT to do lunches.  If we have
refrigeration, then it is doable. but not optimal.

Personally, I'd rather not do them--it adds time, expense and a lot of
planning to the process of a sectional.  BUT, they can be done.  We can
always get trays of sandwiches from Costco and pull together a salad.  Or
sandwiches from Subway (but  folks complain about these over time).

We have tried catering in the past.  It's expensive, but doable. Caterers
will want access to water, at least, to clean up.  Bothell is not good for
catering.  Vasa works well.

We could get a food truck, but again, the cost will go up, and there will
be logistical issues to work through.  All possible.

When a venue is not near restaurants, we may want to provide this type of
option.  BUT...again, without refrigeration, or a kitchen, hard to prepare
salads, hard to clean up, hard to store things.

SO.  Short term, I'd rather not do lunches.  If we train our folk to bring
their own lunch (have a picnic with your team...!),  or give them enough
time for a fast food option, great.

We will need to come up with a list of spots near the venue, and have good
maps and lots of copies to pass out.
