• All accounts from last year were deleted - everyone needs to register for a new username/pwd. Go to https://emjs.hotlunches.net (Access Code: EMJS)
• Note that only a limited number of chicken strips are available so don't delay if you want these. Other choices include pizza, sushi, pasta, cookies, apples, carrots, and beverages.
• All proceeds from this fundraiser will go toward specialized instruction for our kids (e.g. chess, Artists in Residence, Boston Dance, Science Venture) and other opportunities that would not be possible without PAC funding.

• We need a few more team leads to help make sure the event on October 26 can happen successfully. This will only require a few hours of your time.
