First of all, congratulations on your first fundraiser! This is an exciting opportunity and I'm sure you can make it a success. Here are some tips on how to handle this fundraiser: 1. Research the recipes you are going to use. Make sure they are quick, easy and delicious. You can also look for recipes that use similar ingredients so you don't have to buy too many different ingredients. 2. Plan out the timeline for each show. Figure out how much time you will need for prepping, cooking, serving and cleaning up. Make sure to give yourself extra time just in case something goes wrong. 3. Create a menu and budget for the event. Decide how much you will charge per plate and what items you will be serving. This will help you plan ahead so you know exactly what needs to be purchased. 4. Make sure to bring enough food for both shows. You don't want to run out before everyone has been served. 5. Promote the event. You can use social media and word of mouth to spread the word about the fundraiser. I hope these tips help you with your fundraiser. Good luck!
