[Sca-cooks] Getting discounted foods - was: Menus

[Radei Drchevich]

In Colorado My business licence was a tax number.

Another idea.  make a friend in a small local restarant.  often times you 
can get them to order for you if you invite them to the feast, or some other 
small favor.  Work the system.

NCIPA<Northern Colorado Inter-tribal Pow-wow Association>, a not-for-profit 
I was involved with in Colorado often got the local restaurants and grocery 
store to donate or give us large discounts just by talking to the right 
managers.  I am sure they still do, though I no longer live in Colorado.
