[Rfu-barnraising] update on donations, etc

Mon Nov 7 16:31:54 CST 2005

oops i sent this by accident before i was done but basically that is it.  we should decide today or tomorowz or so if
we can whether or not we want to purchase pizza and push for it to be donated.  

it is super easy for us to call our list of 20 pizza places and order food for sunday at any level of discount.

thnaks!
