Dinner Meeting Protocol:
Your donations help us cover the expenses incurred in renting the fascility as well as our monthly hangar fees and aircraft maintenance costs. Local CAF groups do not receive funding from CAF HQ and are totally self supporting. Your donations help "Keep 'em flying in the Bay Area".
PLEASE! No frozen food or uncooked pizza. If you choose to bring a whole (uncut) roasted chicken, YOU are expected to cut it up for serving. KITCHEN REMINDER: if your bowls, utensils, and other cooking paraphernalia are not marked, they are considered a donation. The Kitchen Staff do not have any way of telling what equipment you brought. PLEASE MARK YOUR STUFF!!!
