Support the Pancake Breakfast

Greetings,

The 1st Pancake Breakfast meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. Over dinner prepared by Eric Rice, we addressed the following issues concerning the Breakfast. We set the date for May 5th, 2007. Hours will be from 9 to 12 p.m (8 a.m. to 1 p.m. for staff and volunteers). Next up we decided on the ticket price: $10 adults/ $8 students.

Tickets. We would like to have the tickets available at the next meeting Wednesday, April 4th, 2007 at 7518 S. Denker Street, 90047. Brother Austin and Eric are finalizing the flyer design and we will be contacting Brother Calvin about ticket design and production. The approved design will grace the cover of the e-flyer to be distributed by Alumni and Supporters. ***We would like each Alumni to be responsible for no less than ten tickets for themselves, their family or for donating to local students.

We voted to have a Morehouse table at the breakfast with Alum at the table to speak with prospective students and their families and to distributing Morehouse paraphernalia and pamphlets. We also voted to have two formal introductions during the four hour block. Morehouse men will address the audience and any prospective students at 10:30 and 12 noon, so please be present at one of these times.

We did a rough itemizing. Butter, syrup, apple and orange juice were at the top of the list. Dr. Hale volunteered to be responsible for securing these items. Other items on the list are plates, napkins, cups, and utensils. If you would like to be responsible for these items and be reimbursed, please let Eric or myself know. Next meeting we will a complete itemized list.

We addressed the issue of having the proper amount of staff in the kitchen to flip flapjacks, stir batter and cook sausage. We also need brothers to serve the line. Please let us know where you would like to volunteer.

Eric would like to sell Morehouse Pancake Breakfast Tee Shirts and GLAMAA tee shirts for $15 a pop. The design is pending. Lastly, we are cold calling next meeting via a phone tree by Brother through the alumni list, so expect to be called and expect to be present and participate. The more the merrier and the swifter the job.

Respectfully Submitted,

Kingslee Purcell.
