Fundraising Idea - Cafe 4 You

Image
For many year, I was a champion in fundraising for United Way at work. I decided to share my idea on how to manage a coffee stand to raise money. The idea is to "bring the cafe to your desk" - save your colleagues' time from going to the break room to get coffee and cookies. To further your profit, you may use supplies from your break room. For the most part, I go to  JKS Houston Restaurant & Equipment Supplies  for serving stuff and Kroger Store in Spring Branch for baked goods. I have used this logo on all communications. Supplies Needed: Ground coffee about $5 per bag; Cookies from local bakery ($10 per dozen); Foam cups and lids from restaurant supply store ($5); Containers of sugar, creamer and sugar alternatives ($5); Hot chocolate package ($1.75/box per 10 bags) Hot cider packages ($2.00/box per 10 bags) Energy bars ($3/box per 18 piece value pack) Napkins ($2/ pack store brand) Stirrers ($2/pack from dollar store) Material Needed:

MH Hospital Food Review

After a couple of extended visits at Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital , I've decided to write a review on hospital food as a reminder. Just in case I forgot how to order. Nice presentation of Grilled Salmon dinner. The colorful menu has a variety of delicious restaurant-quality food. It is designed with dietary requirements in 3 forms: Clear Liquid - Not much choice. Very clear like you can see through the cup. Full Liquid - Minimum choice of soups, jello, pudding, ice cream, mashed potato and stuff. It's better than baby food. Trust me.  Regular Diet - Real food for general public. Don't go overboard. If you are in the hospital for lowering blood pressure or cholesterol, make sure you go with a low-salt option. You can season it with Ms Dash. If you are here to watch blood sugar, you want to choose low-sugar option.  Sampled Dishes : Grilled Salmon - very dry but tasty. If you have digestion problem, skip it. You can snack it like a fish jerky later dri
