Breakfast Option Decisions this Tuesday
Lots to read so please read to the end...
1. Voting in person and on Zoom on
whether or not to adopt a $10 breakfast
A $10 Tuesday breakfast could include
breakfast sandwiches with bacon and fruit.
2. A lottery for 4 "$3 Beverage Only" spots -
medical reasons given priority
If you are interested in one of the "beverage only" spots,
- please email Jessica at jdharbar@comcast.net by this coming Friday, May 12, at 5 p.m. to enter the lottery.
- if your request is based on a medical need, please indicate this is the case in your email; requests based on medical need will be given first consideration and will be held as confidential.
3. If any of these options pose a financial burden for you,
please email Jessica at jdharbar@comcast.net
or call 781.910.0202.
Let's see if we can customize a plan that will work for you.
