    We are having our DIY Food Event & Potluck on May 9 starting at 11:00 with the potluck At Bill and Heather Schlarbaum's in New London. We are doing the clubs recipe this time. each bag holds aprox. 1 Solo cup of food. If you participate in helping make the food you pay $10 per bag and if you do not help then you pay $15 per bag from what I understand. We need a list of who is buying (please list if you plan on helping or not), how many bags you plan on purchasing, and what you plan on bringing for the potluck.

    @Chlora@Chlora @FishBrain@FishBrain @yankieman@yankieman @Reggie@Reggie @foxylady@foxylady go ahead and "Watch" this thread by clicking the link at the top right of the thread so you are sure to get emails for replies

    I've contacted the seafood distributor in the QC and they can deliver on Thursday to Burlington on their regular route. I will need someone who can accept the delivery and put it in the freezer

    Also I will need someone to do the same for the Brine Shrimp Direct and preferably also the dry food & supplements portions from BRS or Premium Aquatics. I will need to place all of these orders next week on Monday or Tuesday to make sure they arrive by Thursday, or Friday at the latest.

    So I essentially need a name/address for someone that is home during the day, or can have it delivered to their work and then take it home.

    BSD products come packed with dry ice so they can sit for a while and be fine. The seafood will likely come right off a freezer truck. Dry stuff is mostly OK but there is one product that comes in a insulated pack and should be put in the fridge right away.

    I can be home on any day as far as I know. I go to see a specialist to see about surgery to have a piece of wood removed from my finger and have no idea as to when I will be having that. I just need to know date and time to be in Burlington and where to meet up. My address is 115 S. Mary St., Stronghurst, IL 61480.

    That would make sense - you got the freezer space?

    I have an upright freezer so I know I have plenty of room. If Bill has the space then that is fine too.

    I added the event to the calendar and there is a thread that is associated with it. Just testing out the system currently, I will likely need to tweak this to keep things in a way that makes sense.

    Right now when you add an event it creates a thread in the Events & Fests subforum, where you can RSVP and add a note also, and post just like a thread. This is sort of like the Resources, where a thread is tied to the resource.

    http://www.greateriowareefsociety.o...lington-diy-food-potluck-new-london-ia.23514/

    So right now there are 3 places where this event is discussed - this thread, another in the Burlington subforum, and the Event. No biggie just FYI, and a note in my book to see how we can make this tool work for the future, as there currently isn't a way to choose from a list of sub-forums in which to start the event thread, you have to designate a specific sub-forum for all events.

    If there are still extra bags available, please let me know and I'll buy some. I'm between Iowa City and Cedar Rapids, but could travel to pick them up if needed. Thanks!
