Food, Food & More Food


Anyone who attended last year's Paper Arts A Thon can tell you there was no shortage of food! We want to make sure we can do this again and have asked (a question you answered on your registration form) if you will help out. With your food (money) donations plus ours and the donations we receive from local grocery stores, we will do our best to see you have plenty of good food to eat along with some treats.

We have decided to go with the old saying, “If it isn't broke, don't fix it” and stick with our menu from last year. This means:
There will be coffee, tea, juice and muffins on arrival.
For lunch we will provide all the fixings to make your own sandwich buns, plus a veggie and fruit tray with squares and cookies for dessert.
For supper we will serve salads, a variety of casseroles, dinner rolls and to top it off 'yummy desserts'.
There will be ample treats and snacks interspersed throughout the event.
Before departing at 6:00 am we will have muffins and juice, coffee and tea to send you on your way.
During the 20 hour event, there will be coffee brewing, hot water for tea, plenty of water and juice available at all times!


Below is a list with your first name and initial and a request for a specific item or $$'s that will go toward particular items. If the request is not something you are able to do and you would like to change, please Email me and I will happily make that change for you. We have tried our best to divvy up the food equally.

*** Note to those providing casseroles: Your 'casserole' could be a crock pot dish, actually anyone who maybe able to do this will help out with 'oven space'.

***************Please read below, this is important!****************************


When you arrive at Paper Arts A Thon someone will be there to take your food and store it properly. If you are bringing a prepared item (casserole, dessert) please label your food in the following way:
Your name (we may need heating/storing instructions)
What the prepared item is called (ie: Chicken Broccoli Casserole)
and please label your food if any of the food items below are used in the preparation.

Below is a list of food items that some participants are allergic to. We are not asking that you do not use these items but that you label your food if you DO use them.

For example, on your label add: 'contains garlic'

These are the food items some participants are allergic to: soy, mussels, escargot, blue cheese and garlic.

Thank you for your generosity. I can tell you, from last year's experience, it is wonderful to be a part of a joint effort of so many generous and caring people.
This... to me.... spells SUCCESS!
