Alan Ridley asked if there were going to be other lunch specials during the year.  Rick B said that, due to the fact that the specialty foods are brought in from the outside, they wouldn’t be doing any other specialty meals.  Alan also mentioned that the music in the Coyote’s Den was not very pleasant.  Rick said that they would maybe bring in some cd’s to play.

Christopher mentioned that a student was charged 25 cents for an additional knife.  Amanda clarified the fact that they do not charge for additional tableware.  They will review with their employees.
