[JPL] Another Food Idea

[Jae Sinnett]

Good question Tom...the station buys the food...reimburses me... but no wine or beverages were purchased for the events...for me yes but not for them. Hopefully you smiled at that one. The average cost for the dinner for up to six...based on what I submit to them for the menu choices...is between about $80-$130. Last night I did one and they picked a tuna dish which of course would be on the upper end of the cost but they pledged $2500 and the food receipt was $125 for five people and they had left overs. They had their own wine.
