[Nfb-kzoo] NFB Sponsered Pizza Party

[J.J. Meddaugh]

This sounds good.
A few questions and thoughts:

Free delivery is great, but we ended up tipping $30-40 for this. Would it be 
better for us to get a volunteer to drive back and forth, or is this too 
much hassle? Or, maybe we're tipping too much.

I don't think we need bottled water again, or at least a smaller supply. 
There's also lemonade mixes, etc. that could cut down on costs. If we did 
want bottled water, the Save-a-lot on Stadium has 24-packs for $2.49 last I 
checked. Yes, it still tastes like water. It may be worth it to get plates 
and other things from here as well, as it would be cheaper.

Has anyone tracked down materials to hand out? I know we need to do better 
on having braille/large print stuff. I can call national tomorrow and see if 
there's still time or failing that, perhaps find a way to braille up some 
things here.
As for Kenny, I'll send a message over to the state list to see if there's 
others in the area.
