This is a question in response to the strangely OT stuff that has been posted lately turned into an actual FIRST-related question!
So....I hear Josh craving pizza, Colleen raving about food from Mom, and Mike definetley sick of pizza (and it's only week 3!)...how do the rest of the teams provide sustenance to their hungry members?
I know on our team, we rely on a carefully set plan before Kickoff made by our Sustenance Coordinators (yes, trust me, we have two people on our team with that title, I had to make it on business cards for one of them because I refused to let her come to the Womens Forum without something to hand out).
They take a big piece of posterboard & create a make-shift calendar for the 6 weeks, and about 2 weeks before Kickoff adults can sign up with their name & phone number for any specific day. Luckily, we don't need to strain the parents too much because this year the local high-end supermarket has offered to cater each monday of the 6 weeks
Since every year we take into account the fundraising that is done by each student, the adult that cooked that night can put that money towards a student....soo, everyone wins out. Parents can cook a meal for 50 people and then accredit that money to their child on the team, and the hungry robot team members have a variety of home-cooked meals each night. Plus, noone is taking time away from their work to figure out food each night
Anyone, feel free to steal this idea. Now that we have perfected it, it works beautifully. Just be sure to call it the "Sie-H2O-Bot Sustenance System"
