Call for Donations to Pancake Tuesday

We hope you have been enjoying the return of Pancake Tuesday! Just a friendly reminder that the supplies are entirely donation-driven so if you are able, please donate using the black lock box in the 5th floor kitchen or Venmo, Sophie Samiee (@sophiesss). The supplies have cost ~$25/month, so even $1 from everyone would go a long way!

We would hate to run out of supplies and have to stop.
