Joe and Don, PBSS at best might have 3 people attend TCR and more than likely will be just me. I am not cooking for our entire grotto. I suppose I could help another grotto or just bring my own food. I like the idea, but the PBSS don't have hundreds of members and even less who would show up... Bill

A) Fending for ourselves disrupts the communal nature of the Saturday evening meal. If we end up going this route it would be important to continue with Saturday evening activities that encourage everyone to come together. B) Catering will drive up the cost and limit the meal options. There really is a limit to the amount of fajitas or mediocre BBQ we should be forced to eat. C) Folks stepping forward. This is a challenge as we can clearly see the job is pretty thankless. "You didn't cook polecat three ways this year, how the hell do you expect me to eat?!?" Most of us no longer cook for the masses either. Watching new folks struggle to tackle the TCMA breakfast every few years is always a hoot and it's on a much smaller scale. Alternative option ) Grotto cook-off - Create competition amongst the grotto's and tie it into the theme. Have the parade start a little later and everyone can tour the camp dining at the different offerings or it could all be brought to a central location. This helps share the load and teach folks to cook on a larger scale before having to tackle the big feed themselves.

There have been complaints, rumors and talk about this subject. It seems there are three options: (a) fend for yourselves, (b) caterer, (c) volunteers come forward to cook. Each has its benefit and drawbacks. I need to get a feel for options.
