OK, Jane took the words out of my mouth.

We have some good resources in the NEMO website - and one of them is How to Hold a Profitable Pasta Dinner - we average $900 to $1000 on our pasta dinners because we have them down to a science. Not bad for a few hours of work AND they also serve as a way for your team to market themselves. As with any fundraising you do, be aware of state and local regulations regarding food preparation, car washes (technically banned in many areas unless you are capturing the soapy water runoff), raffles, etc. You don't want your organization to end up in the news for the wrong reasons.
