I would also have a cake, simply because I like cake. Statistically less than 50% of people eat at this kind of events, as most people do not stay all day. We should avoid pizza since it can make a mess and we do not have equipment for cleanup.

>> Massimo, can you look into whether or not you can get funding to do so?  Looking back over my email archives, I've asked you twice to do this and have not heard back either time:

We have a very limited backup budget and like to reserve it, where possible, for schools like community colleges which could otherwise not afford to host our events.  At this point it is likely too late to get corporate sponsors, so please look into this ASAP.
