<div dir="ltr">While the amount could be lower, we discussed having some threshold to be able to require registration and to have a count of attendees so that the cooks can calculate how much food to make. We would not want to over or under-estimate by too much. <div>We would also be giving more drinks for free than other years. Having said that, i don't think we debated much the price point. </div><div><br></div><div>I also think that paying something constitutes insurance for people coming who can thereby expect to have a reasonable meal (e.g., vegetarians or vegans having food they can eat, all of us having enough volume, having it at a reasonable time, etc.). All of these things become relevant for people when they are told that the cooking is done by volunteers. I think of this not as a meal that anyone personally offers, but something that the council organizes and so we need to be able to deliver to those expectations regardless of the personal preferences of volunteers. Namely, if people pay for their dinner, they can expect that if a volunteer burns their dish or it is not ready in time, someone will have the resources and feel the obligation to run to a store and buy the food in a pinch. </div><div><br></div><div>We need to think like an organization even if we are a bunch of guys.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font color="#000000" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:13.3333px;white-space:pre-wrap"><b>Pat Herbst</b></span></font></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Professor of Mathematics Education</span></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Editor in Chief, Journal for Research in Mathematics Education</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Marsal Family School of Education | University of Michigan</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">610 East University Avenue | Room 4117</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Ann Arbor, MI | 48109-1259 </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">734.763.3745 | <a href="mailto:pgherbst@umich.edu" target="_blank">pgherbst@umich.edu</a></span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="border:none;display:inline-block;overflow:hidden;width:195px;height:26px"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/irvcxY5zS2aDLgZ9AbdiriAR17IFoE0VphlQRoOxMSUlyRze5CAXTtmYxznyvI0hLNFF9v2zYGKvfkfKjn0YvGAFEtvYaDxIgNar-9EFWJl0GyR6szLswfjp_g6X_1LAes49F7Ok9ue8nq4gnwFhb-o" width="195" height="26"></span></span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">   </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/umicheducation/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="border:none;display:inline-block;overflow:hidden;width:17px;height:17px"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/x9E2IBJgMrdZWlG0Zt7ZomjeC3jAhjFWVfyQeen7_kxBP2t-aPLQEwcMFUYuML37y58Xd_9PJ03N0NFU7m4zZyUc4HPYdfT29gonWyrGhTiINXkSn8KVxbcQWS-Q5FBQgj5XAzsSF6jfuKVn86ONHk8" width="17" height="17"></span></span></a><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/UMichEducation/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;vertical-alig
