need Costco runner

[James Donald]

Jon has taken care of the pizza, but I forgot about the other food and drinks for HtF25. Anyone here who has a car + preferably Costco membership willing to take this on? You can shop there either Friday night or early Saturday morning when we're setting up at The Tech.

We usually get about $200 worth of food and drinks for the kids and mentors.

Note if you don't have a Costco membership, there's the option of signing up for it and cancelling shortly after you've made use of it. In my experience they don't have a problem with this generous model.

Also open to other options such as Sam's Club.

My costco membership has lapsed, but I'd be happy to help someone do the run, if they can get us in the door (and out again)

I can do it! I need to do an intense Costco run for another event anyway.

Do you have a list? I'm not good about getting healthy things.

Thanks Emily!! (Nick too for offering after already running orientation and being the one slated to carry T-shirt boxes).

Jocelyn's shopping list can be found at the end of the "vendors" doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WojFmfQzbGJEWmZpwa23peWbrZ-LxH-aG7_ShMB-bU8 :

[jocelyn] I usually just get 2 drinks per person, cheese plates oranges, banana, veggie platters, variety of bagels with cream cheese, sometimes cookies, crackers. I lean towards getting the healthier types of food. Just think about what you'd eat as a snack, multiply that by 2 for morning and afternoon, then multiply by 1.5 the number of people. Some will eat more than others and it's better to have more food then run out. I usually spend about $200/300.  Also the morning of, someone should stop at peets coffee for a joe-to-go. Coffee I'd nice in the morning and makes people happy. Joe normally goes to the crazy donut shop around the corner. psycho donut? It's kind of a tradition.

[nick] HtF17: And all of the drinks had been consumed.  Veggies are not popular (duh) and only one veggie plate was even touched, and that was just barely.  The Martinelli's Apple Juice disappeared the fastest, so maybe we should get more juice and less soda next time?  Also more water.

I know that's a bit free-form so it requires some interpretation. Before Friday I'll see if I can dig up Joe's last Costco receipt for clearer guidance.

How many people am I buying for?

[James Donald]

About 90 kids + 40 mentors. So maybe 10% smaller than the Costco receipt sample I sent you earlier?

(Looks like we got an easier ratio this time, although probably still won't be able to support all the kinds of station we want!)

Please make sure to purchase about 20 hand sanitizer things, one for each table, sanitary latex gloves for pizza serving, and a few disinfectant spray bottles for laptops. Didn't see anybody volunteer to bring a pizza cutter / spatula so if you happen to spot that at Costco it would be nice too.

Thanks Emily!
