an example of the same closed circle is the church traditional fundraiser called 'dime a dip dinners' (these days they're probably quarter a dip) they ask members to bring 2 covered dishes to the dinner, the put all the dises on a table and you pay a dime (.25c now?) a spoonful and fix your plate...you buy the food, fix it, bring it, and pay to eat...closed system

Interesting...

I got this E-MAIL last Friday night:

Hello Everyone,

I apologize for the very short notice, but I wanted to let you all know that there is going to be a gathering tomorrow after church to welcome back Pastor *** from Mozambique.

This is pretty informal, just a time to visit with *** and share some lunch. I am asking that if you can, to please bring something to share.

So far, pulled pork and sloppy joes are being provided for sandwiches, as well as various sides and desserts, such as mac and cheese, chips, potato salad, cookies, and a pie.

Any sides, desserts, or drinks you could bring would be great (vegetables, potatoes, pies, cakes, cookies, soft drinks, etc.)

You don't really need to respond back to this, just bring something if you can, or even if you can't please join us to welcome back Pastor ***.

Like I said, this is pretty informal. If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 989-5555. Thanks!

Arnold
