THANK AND CREATE DAY

First thing First for think and create day was to get the rest of the ingredients needed for catering, all the bread, cheese and meat.

Natasha and I headed to paknsave and got what was left, storing everything in the storage room.

Around 12 the instillation Team helped set up the tables that were going to be used for the catering at the event, we used 4 tables, and thankfully the tablecloths were big enough to cover what we needed.

I got the help of:
Jerry
Corrie
Natasha
Beathony
Fabri

To help prepare and set up stuff. We first got all the glasses and drink downstairs setting them up on the longest table, then I stationed Jerry and Natasha to watch over the Alcohol, to make sure nobody pinched any, and also, when guests started arriving, so that they could start serving the drinks.
In the meantime: Corrie, Beathony, Fabri and I started preparing the food, all the foods that wouldn't go off easy, were prepared first, such as the lolies crackers and dip and grape platters. They were taken down as the other platters were being prepared, the ones that I didn't want left out waiting for too long, (worried they would dry out or go off)
Fabri was set in charge of preparing the Falafel skewers, Corrie, was on the bread Platters,
and I put together the meat and cheese platters.


The left over money from buying all the food and required Items was returned to the Treasurer, Caleb along with the recepts for buying all that was required.

After the food was all down it was all a matter of keeping someone attending the drinks, and making sure the food was topped up.

Which went well, thankfuly TuT




As people were started being ushered to Centre stage, we started to take the food back up to the stoage room, to help drive people out fo the raw gallery and into Centre stage for the Main event of the nights.
At the interval, some things were brought back down for people to snack at>>

After the event. everything was stored in the spare room. the extra food is open for raiding asa we can't keep it here over the summer.

I have put Natasha Incharge of cleanup, she is also taking all the glasses back,

Catering Update

Wednesday 6th November

Thankful the full budget came though, so we had no need for the plan B or to cut down on what we were getting.
We first got to buying the material items at Hello Banana on Esk Street, the Total of that costing $70 less then we had anticipated, leaving $70 spare.

We next went to packnsave to buy the food that we didn't need fresh so all of the non perishable foods and foods that would be okay overnight,

I misjudged on the sized of some of the products we were getting resulting in us needing less of that particular Item, which means we now have more then we will probably need,
However we do still need to get the perisible items on the list tomorrow, such as the bread, cheese and Meant.
We used Natasha's car to transport the products to SIT Downtown campus, storing the fruit and vegg in the Staff fridge.

After that Natasha went to get the Booze and glasses, I would have gone with her however, we needed the car for it and she is only on her restricted meaning she couldn't take her with me, She managed to gett everything including the glasses with no issue.

I do think that we will ha ve money left over for the catering, this will be given back to the Treasurer after purcising all we need for think and create.

The budget might not fully come through in time for think and create, Because of this, We need to create a back up plan.

Our Limit now is $800 or lower for the catering budget.

We have cut it down, trying to do so more.

Going to start getting stuff tomorrow
Will get everything, Wednesday and Thursday Morning, then Before think and Create prepare the food

Before I did not realize I would need outside help getting everything

The food, the alcohol, and the non food items.

I might need outside help, people with cars to transport the items required for think and create.
I think I annoyed a lot of people for not realizing this sooner.

I thought I would have had more time to get this all together.

I have done what I can to widdle down the price, I handed it over to Natasha as I had another class to attend, After I shall talk to her about how we are getting it all.
