Not that I know about, though I believe we offered free (sponsored?)
pizza at one of the meetings I wasn't able to attend last year.

To give our newer members some background about what Brian is alluding
to, back when we met at CMU we would generally collect $5 from everyone
who wanted pizza at the beginning of the meeting, then place an order to
be delivered either after the presentation or during a break in the
presentation.

This job was formerly known as the "Pizza Troll" but is currently
documented on the wiki as the "Meal Coordinator":
<http://www.wplug.org/wiki/MeetingChecklist#Duties_of_the_Meal_Coordinator>.
It also involves buying beverages ahead of time and bringing them to the
meeting.

This is certainly something that could be reinstated, though it may be
too late to do so for this Saturday.  (Note the meeting is January 10,
*not* January 15 as the subject line states.)  In terms of finances,
this was handled as part of the refreshment fund and it worked out as a
break-even proposition.
