I think it was Terry who suggested that instead of having one person volunteer to provide all of the food for a particular game that each member bring one particular type of snack to a game. This is a very good idea as it eliminates the "sign up" sheet and will also take care of not knowing just how much food to buy (i.e., not knowing how many players will attend in advance. The more players, the more snacks are brought by each party to the game.).
We (Clark and Christine) will continue to provide the snack staples of pretzels and peanuts for every game held at our house and if others want to bring something to share with the group, that would be great. It doesn't need to be anything extravagant - fruit, chips, cookies, extra soda, etc. It will be a lot easier to share food responsibilities in this potluck style manner than for one person to sign up and be the sole provider of all edibles.
