- Refreshments at NNJOSA Chapter Workshops
Please note that our chapter has always had a tradition of having refreshments at each workshop throughout the year. Coffee and tea, as well as paper products and other items (sugar, milk, etc.) have been provided from chapter funds. The chapter funds were never used to purchase food for refreshments but only for workshop expenses directly related to clinicians. Traditionally, the Chapter Executive Board has provided food items for the first workshop and other members of the chapter were encouraged to bring food items for the refreshment table at all other workshops. In the past, the chapter had utilized a sign-up list for members who wish to notify us in advance that they will bring an item for the next workshop. Recently, the number of people taking advantage of this has declined and many of the same members are always providing the refreshment items when they attend workshops. The Executive Board feels strongly that past traditions such as this should not simply cease to exist. The Schulwerk brings us together for musical sharing and the refreshment break gives us a change to gather socially-for sharing of other musical and school related ideas.
Effective with the Spring, 2010 workshops the policy for refreshments will be as follows:
1. The chapter will continue to offer both coffee and tea as in the past.
2. Any chapter member who comes to a workshop is most welcome to bring ONE item for the refreshment table to share during the break.
3. Items that you bring should be ready to serve – e.g. bagels already cut; cheese pieces and crackers; bakery items (doughnuts, coffee cake, etc.) that are ready to serve. A small portion (e.g. 6 bagels or mini-bagels) will be plenty—so that leftovers can be kept to a minimum. Both healthy items (as well as the other kind!) are welcome.
4. Whatever comes in will be served. If no items come in, then coffee and tea will still
be available.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation!
