Board game night, 5/5/2009

Game night is on this week. However, as an FYI we aren't doing food this week. If someone is interested in coordinating food, they are more than welcome to, but I think we'll be taking a few weeks off from food. We've had to absorb the cost of food for a few weeks now, due to a lower number of people showing up than we had expected (e.g. two weeks ago: one person; last week: zero). We totally understand that people can't come every week due to prior commitments and last minute changes of plans. But the logistics of guessing how many people will show up in a given week, and planning food around that, is dragging on us, so we're taking a break while we figure out a better way to manage food.

I'm not trying to make anyone feel guilty for not coming on any given week, so please don't be upset or sad if you haven't been able to make it recently. We truly understand that people can't come every week, and I enjoy board game night regardless of how many people show up. The issue isn't that we can't get the same number of people each week, it's that I'm not good at managing food for a dynamic number of people. We just need to figure out how to make food work in a manner that makes sense. Let me know if you have any ideas.
