2009 Winter Conference Food Donors

From all indications the 30th Anniversary NPSAS Winter Conference was an exciting combination of educational opportunities, resources, reunions, fun and yes, good food. One goal is to provide nutritious, organic food at reasonable cost at the WC. Thanks to some 35 generous sources, cost for the meals, snacks and beverages was decreased. Another significant factor is a large percent of sources waived the delivery fees or delivered the food directly to Crossroads Hotel. Below is a complete listing of donations. Indeed, as one conference goer said, “Members are extremely generous in donating food for the meals. Shows integrity!”
