SINC BREAKFAST SET-UP

1. Buy bagels, the number to be determined by an estimate of anticipated participants. A dozen is normal. Possibilities are Sam’s on Coldspring or St Paul Street for price and selection, or Panera’s in Towson for variety and because they will slice them for you. If you prefer you may buy them on Saturday, slice and bag ahead for Sunday.
2. Try to arrive at the Meeting House by 8:30.
3. Run the water through the system until it runs cold. Fill the teapots and heat---it is faster to heat on the stove then in the pot that you fill to put out on the table in the dining room. Please note that the gas burners are not automatic; use the mechanical match hanging up on the pot rack over the table. When water is hot, carefully pour it into one of the large coffee makers that is kept on the counter by the windows.
4. Tea, sugar, instant coffee, if needed, and creamer are kept in the upper cabinet to the left of the stove and in the storeroom above the kitchen.
5. Make regular coffee and decaf using the Mr. Coffee pots on the kitchen counter by the window or in the large urns. Coffee is in the refrigerator. It is preferable to make the small pots in the kitchen and move them to the dining room since the electrical outlet under the service table in the dining room seems not to handle two pots brewing simultaneously and may shut the power off.
6. Slice the bagels if they are not pre-sliced. The bagel slicer is kept in a box by the window. Regular knives are in the steel table drawer.
7. Cream cheese is in the refrigerator. You may use the supply that is there for simple lunch.
8. Baskets, napkins, plates and cups for coffee and tea are in the storeroom up the stairs and to the left as you leave the kitchen.
9. Do not forget to put out a basket for breakfast donations on the table with the bagels. The person who buys the bagels reimburses her/himself from this collection and gives excess donations to those providing simple lunch. Also put out a plate with a couple of spoons to act as stirrers.
10. Bagels, coffee and tea are arranged on the side table in the dining room. Hot water is put in one of the large coffee urns and kept hot. The cords are near the pot and there is a strip outlet cord under the table in the dining room.
11. After the forum meeting, clean up trash and dirty spoons, etc. You may leave the coffee and tea set up and any extra bagels for simple lunch. Dispose of the remains of the coffee and wash the pot. Turn off the hot water.

If you have any questions about breakfast set-up call the clerk of SINC. You may need a key card to get into the building. If you do not have one ask one of the other SINC members who lives near you and has a card.
