I saw this before. Each 'event' is unique; they host the dinner in different
places, different menu, different whatever. For $150-$200? The attendees
must have money to burn.
The wheels are grinding and thinking of numbers...$150 x 130 avg attendees =
$19,500! For one meal! Food costs have gone way up, but still the profit
margin on this meal must be 50% or better. Not a bad way to make a living.
Throw one 'event' per month for 4-6 months of the year.
Since you're game, come mid-to-late summer I can supply all the fresh,
not-certified-organic fruit you could want. Just as long as we don't have a
repeat of last year and lose it all in a freeze. Knock wood.
