We thank Scott Mezistrano & Jeff Kaye for sponsoring the bagels and spreads in honor of their 35th anniversary, Mariah Ybarra for providing the cookies, water, and paper goods, and Susie Ortner for coordinating and laying out the food. There will be bottles of water, but you may want to bring your own container so we can avoid throwing away plastic bottles.
