First, if you're unsure what to bring- please stop bringing the generic, soul-less foods. If you don’t like, or don't have time, to prepare something at home- that’s okay! Just bring your Beverages of Choice (BoC) and settle in for a bangin’ good time. Please- DO NOT bring cookies/chips/cheese doodles from the <insert grocery store name here> just to bring "something". (This request does not apply to “specialty foods” (i.e. food from a great local deli/bakery/pastry shop, confectioner).
How about saving time and the hassle by dropping some coin in the “Contribute” Jar. There are two great reasons for this request; 1) most of you (no offense nor blame intended) have no idea how much of that stuff gets thrown away during load-out. We give away as much as we can to the students, etc. but, still a great deal gets discarded as waste and; 2) Instead of paying Harris-Teeter $6 for some soul-less cookies, drop a few bucks into the “Contribute” jar and, voila!, the gruel we usually serve goes up a notch. ;) (Think: fresh roaches in the chili! And, of course, more Dead Ants!)

Some housekeeping items:
- Really decent job of cleaning up after yourselves last week. Keep it up/turn it up!
- Those who wish to donate HD cutlery, what we need are forks, we have enough knives and spoons to last until Duke wins the BCS NC.
- We’re good, for now, on Dinner plates. What we could use are more the smaller (6”, 8”) appetizer/dessert plates; more Blue cups (next person to bring red cups gets The Rusty Spork!)
- If you’re coming around Noon, we can always use a bag (or two) of ice.
