Minutes:

The GO Meals Committee meet on Tuesday, Nov. 27, at 6:30, in the dining
room.Present: Debbi, Gail, Nancy, Tammy

Agenda:
1. Cooks email list

2. Financial reports to the community
3. Skimpy Meals - do you go home hungry?
4. More about Storage
5. Other business


1. Cooks email list - The committee wants to move ahead with a cooks email list
despite being discouraged from creating a separate list. We will try using the
meals list and see how it goes. Head cooks will be subscribed to the list and
it will be open to anyone else who is interested. Gail will send out a message
to talk when we are ready to begin using the list for cooks. Messages that are
intended for the committee will now have "committee" in the subject line.

2. Financial Reports to the community - Gail showed a spreadsheet that Kathy
has created to track monthly deposits and expenses. We will send out a year end
statement and consider whether to send out statements more often.

3. Skimpy meals - concerns have been raised by some diners about amount of food
offered at a meal. Some say they have to go home and eat more to be satisfied.
Cooks have sometimes misjudged amount needed and come up short on a particular
item for a meal. Some meals are planned to be lighter. Meal planning can be a
discussion topic once the cooks email list is active.

4. More about storage - we continue to think about added storage, adding more
space for bulk storage, and considering options.

5. Other business - we need to update and post the list of allergies cooks
need to be aware of. Garlic has been added to list on the template for posting
meals. All cooks should be using the template so that they are aware of items
on the list. Cooks should not feel that they have to avoid items on the list,
but that they should make it clear that they will be using it so diners can know
when they are signing up for a meal.

Next meeting - Wednesday, Dec. 19, at 6:30, in the dining room.
