Well, I can't say no to that.

But if WPLUG funds were to apply to funding for the catering, my previous comments still apply. I'm fine with paying out-of-pocket, though.

With regard to overspending, we want to avoid situations like the 2013 picnic where poor Pat got stuck with pounds upon pounds of frozen burgers.
