Agreed that prices will go up between 12.5 and 20%. Another meeting to
hammer out details. KMs, Chris. Have volunteer meeting, email. Leona and
Hannah will organise meeting.
Re: NEW MENU
general volly meets are down as first sunday of the month, from 5pm (after having an induction in the afternoon, but a organising something sooner via hannah would work.
then again, this is a Cafe and Events kinda thing, which is first Thursday at 7pm, but whatever likes.
