A Parent's Breakfast

[beannes]

Hi. I'm trying to organize a parent's breakfast before our big philanthropy event. However, everywhere on campus, around campus, campus affiliated is booked, and I'm in the boiling pot right now. I have literally tried everywhere, and hotels and other places are kind of a no-go because of the catering rules and costs to rent them out. Which leads me to ask for an opinion. What do you think of a parent's breakfast picnic? If we had the breakfast at school, we would have to travel to the neighborhood park to get to the event and struggle with parking. If we had it at the event site however, the closest parking spots would be open for sisters and parents, no worries about getting lost trying to find the place... Most parents bring their own foldable chairs anyway, so they could bring those or a blanket. There is also a set of bleachers or two they could sit on. Would this be a good idea? It should be warm as it's near the end of April, and I would be able to call it off if the weather proves to be rainy. It would have muffins, fruit, casseroles, pastries, orange juice, and whatever else I could buy in the budget that would taste good.

Also, regardless of where we hold the breakfast, would this be fair? I think so. My family is local, so we would be buying all the food and cooking it, setting up, and taking the leftovers to a homeless shelter. Because of all this, I wanted to make it so that only you and your parents, unless otherwise noted on the sign up list, are expected to come, please no boyfriends or friends. If you'd like a sibling to come, please have it written on the list so I can adjust accordingly. Like with socials, I wanted to make it so that if your name is on the list you are coming. If you don't show up you will be fined, because that's a lot of work and money gone because it's not fair to me nor my family to spend a whole day cooking. I don't want to come off as mean to anyone.
