FOOD AND SUPPLIES
The Business Manager requests donations of $4 a year (or $1 four times a year) from office staff to purchase the party supplies for the birthdays, new employee receptions, and farewell parties (napkins, cups, knives, forks, spoons) as needed. These supplies should be used only for these events.
To save on the cost of the supplies, office staff is asked to supply their own plates for the parties. A few paper plates will be kept in stock for visitors.
The food and beverages are provided voluntarily by the office staff as appropriate for each occasion.
