	» That would be a nice ending. Either one. » Sounds like you have a plan, then. Do you need anything from me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	» Yes. Including for us and Station. » Not immediately. But if you meet Bill and get along, feel free to invite him back again. » Plans don't always work on the first try. » And it is fun to have someone else to speak with about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

» Speaking of plans, I was thinking. We keep meaning to host a fundraising party/event, and I was thinking the holiday season would be a good time for that.
» And this week's holiday seems like a day when people are in a giving mood, especially relating to food.
» It's probably too late to put together something this week, and people may be busy with their loved ones, but maybe next week or the one after would work? What do you think?

	» The spirit of the holiday is a good one. The shelter is serving turkey that day, and it's full on volunteers. » It's a good idea, and we easily have the resources to cook. We may wish to purchase more goods than usual to provide fare of interest to more than those in the Radchaai military. » Let's put it together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	» Yes, but the rest of the year, they're not so well stocked. » We could ask for volunteers to help us cook, or to bring something they've cooked. Some of the displaced would probably be willing. » And we should probably pick a date. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	» Just the holidays. » Yes, and I hope many will be generous. We may be displaced here, but most of us have housing. » Fridays and Saturdays are the popular weekend days, though that would need some adjustments to our schedule to handle. » If we go with that, the 6th or 7th works.

	» Holiday spirit is great and all, but people need food on more than just the holidays. » I think if it was an early evening event, we would have time to prepare and wouldn't be up too late for our shift. » But we could also see about getting our shift covered. Or only one of us could miss, and the other could leave the event early if necessary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	» Yes. But if this is their season of giving, we can utilize that. » Whatever is it, we can make it work. » If I go without sleep a day, I can manage that fine. I've done it before. » Let's do some meal planning, then an open invite. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	» I think we should be able to plan ahead so that you don't have to. » What do we need to plan ahead of time? Types of dishes? » Do we want to go with the theme of meals that seems to be in fashion right now? There's a lot of turkey and pumpkin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	troopcarrier 2019-11-27 04:48 am UTC (link)
	» We can. That's just a backup plan. » Types of dishes and also the schedule to cook it to be ready. » Turkey and pumpkin are good. I'm fine using canned pumpkin instead of working with it fresh. And turkey, we could do whole birds, but it'll be easier if it's not. » The radio is also very into cranberry sauce. Which does sound like it will balance out the richness. (Reply to this) (Parent)
